Abstract: A balance board may include an upper plate having a top surface; a base configured to contact the ground; and a center assembly pivotally connecting the upper plate with the base, the center assembly including a top pivot including a first multi-axial joint set at least partially within the upper plate and a lower pivot including a second multi-axial joint disposed proximate the upper plate. The first multi-axial joint may be a first ball and socket joint; the second multi-axial joint may be a second ball and socket joint; and the first ball and socket joint may be disposed at least partially within the second ball and socket joint. In addition, the balance board may further include an adjustable angle stop system comprising at least one adjustable angle stop movable at adjustable intervals to change a maximum angle by which the upper plate may be pivoted.

Abstract: Proprioceptive neuromuscular training device for exercisers that improves balance and coordination throughout the kinetic chain. Comprised of a center assembly containing two pivots connecting a top surface to a bottom surface. A top pivot is set within the top surface, a lower pivot is set medial the top surface and the base surface. Both pivots combined eliminate multiaxial deviation creating appropriate musculoskeletal responses. There are slide and lock assemblies with multiple locking points mounted to the base surface. The slide and lock assembly is comprised of an adjustable angle stop containing a protrusion that locks into a groove to either restrict or increase the multiaxial motion of the top surface based on positioning relative to the center assembly.

Abstract: The present invention is a proprioceptive training device that is systematically modifiable and progressively challenging for its user. The Adjustable Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Training (APNT) device can be used as an adjustable wobble proprioceptive training device or converted into an adjustable rocker proprioceptive training device using an optional rocker board accessory.
