Abstract: A system for improving the balance of a person while in a standing position, transitioning between a sitting and a standing position, or while performing various recreational or other activities which require precise balancing comprises a gyrostabilizer, and a support for holding the gyrostabilizer. The support is either in the form of a belt to be coupled to a user's torso, or in the form of a walking cane to be gripped by a hand of the user in order to steady the user while using the gyrostabilizer.
