Balance Board
Balance & Proprioception Board ModalityTechnology Overview
Balance Board represents the cutting edge of rehabilitation technology utilized at Dr. Karolin Rockson PT. By integrating Balance Board into our evidence-based treatment plans, we can significantly accelerate tissue healing, reduce pain pathways, and enhance neuromuscular re-education beyond what traditional therapy alone can achieve.
How It Works (Clinical Mechanism)
Balance boards (wobble boards, BOSU, BAPS) provide unstable surfaces that challenge the proprioceptive, vestibular, and visual systems. The patient must make continuous micro-adjustments to maintain equilibrium, training ankle, knee, and hip stabilizers while improving neuromuscular control. Progressive challenges (eyes closed, foam surface, dual-task) advance recovery.
Clinical Indications
- •Chronic ankle instability and post-sprain rehabilitation
- •ACL reconstruction post-operative phase 2+
- •Vestibular disorders and balance dysfunction
- •Fall prevention in elderly patients
- •Post-stroke balance and weight-shift training
- •Parkinson's disease balance retraining
Contraindications
- •Severe balance impairment without supervision
- •Acute lower extremity injury unable to bear weight
- •Uncontrolled vertigo or Meniere's disease flare
- •Severe visual impairment limiting compensation
- •Recent hip or ankle surgery (per protocol)
- •Severe cognitive impairment unable to follow cues
Clinical Expected Outcomes
Reduces ankle sprain recurrence by 50–70%
Improves single-leg balance time by 40–60%
Decreases fall risk in elderly by 30–50%
Restores functional balance for return to sport
Enhances proprioception after joint injury
