Abstract: The Adjustable Slant Board was developed to provide a comfortable alternative to sitting, standing, and lying down. It is a collapsible apparatus that when erect allows the user to stand and recline on a platform. The device includes several sections which provide for the adjustment of the angle of the slant board when in use. Reclining the body in an erect position relieves pressure on the lower back while allowing the user the ability to perform many tasks of daily living. When placed in the most comfortable position, the user is free to watch TV, eat, read, use electronic devices, etc. The collapsibility of the Adjustable Slant Board allows it to be stored out of the way. Slant boards have been used previously in exercise equipment primarily to invert the body A slant board designed to provide a stable platform from which to perform other tasks is novel.

When placed in the most comfortable position, the user is free to watch TV eat, read, use electronic devices, etc. The collapsibility of the Adjustable Slant Board allows it to be stored out of the way if only needed occasionally. Slant boards have been used previously in exercise equipment primarily to invert the body. A slant board designed to provide a stable platform from which to perform other tasks more comfortably is novel.
