SLACKFIT Balance Library
“I use the GiBoard with my Wounded Warrior client who is in a wheelchair but can stand with assistance. We work on weight transfer and balance with support because as he shifts his weight, he gets necessary feedback that his legs are doing the work. The GiBoard is a useful tool for some of our older (80+ years old) who use it to stand on one leg (with assistance) to work on balance and challenge them more than simply using a foam pad.”
