orthopaedic injury or surgery rehabilitation
-
balance or vestibular impairments
-
kinesthetic or proprioceptive impairments
-
postural stability impairments
-
muscle imbalance
Precautions:
-
Each stability trainer should be checked for slip or glide
on the surface it will be used on prior to use. Do not perform balance
training on slippery surfaces or on throw rugs.
-
Instruction regarding indications, precautions, proper
application and progression of this product should be provided by a
healthcare professional prior to use.
-
Persons with significant impairments in balance, postural
stability or sensory integrity should only exercise under close supervision
of a healthcare professional
-
Persons at high risk of falls (those taking certain
medications, with osteoporosis, or poor strength) should only exercise under
the close supervision of a healthcare professional
-
Remove sharp objects from the nearby are of balance training
-
If you experience any pain or difficulty with these
exercises, stop and contact your healthcare provider.
Product Care:
-
The Stability Trainer should be inspected before use for any
damage, and cleaned of dust or dirt prior to use.
-
The Stability Trainer should be cleaned periodically with
warm soapy water and allowed to air dry.
-
Harsh cleaners or abrasives should not be used.
-
During storage, the Stability Trainer should be laid flat
with nothing on top of it, as this may leave a permanent impression on the
material. This impression only affects the appearance of the pad, not
its performance.
-
Keep the Stability Trainer out of direct sunlight.
-
Avoid using with shoes containing sharp or narrow heels,
spikes or cleats.
Application
-
Before using the Stability Trainer, exercises should be
demonstrated and performed safely on a stable or firm surface.
-
The Stability Trainer can be placed on top of a Thera-Band
Exercise Mat to decrease slippage, but it will increase de-stabilization in
use.
-
As your balance improves, progress from holding on to
something sturdy (such as a chair) to having the support object nearby for
support as needed.
