  • Patent number: 6176817
    Abstract: A new and improved exercise and therapy device and method of making same is provided. The present invention relates to a device which enables a selective therapeutic exercise regimen by providing a tensioning mechanism attached to a horizontally and vertically rotatable platform, provided with a safety hand rail to aid in maintaining balance and a vertical posture for the operator. The dish-shaped platform will react to changes in the operator's weight shifts and center of gravity placed upon it. When this novel multi-rotational aspect of the platform responds to subtle changes in the operator's center of gravity, movement of the dish-shaped platform will occur. These changes trigger muscular contractions around the joints of the operator responding to the rotation of the platform while the tensioning mechanism allows for selective resistance to the free movement of the platform enabling exercise and therapy routines for various muscle groups.
