Abstract:
A balancing exercise device for an individual, comprising:a. a flexible solid hemisphere having a flat circular surface and a hemispherical side surface and being made out flexible resilient material which will slightly compress when placed under pressure; and b. a pair of attachment straps respectively affixed on oppositely disposed sides of said hemispherical side surface and which are connected by connecting members respectively located on each attachment strap for holding a body part against said flat circular surface when the attachment straps are connected; c. whereby when the hemispherical surface is placed against an immovable object and the body part is pressed against the flat circular surface of the flexible hemisphere to which it is attached, constant variations of movement in any and all directions of the hemispherical surface puts different stretch on the tendons, muscles, ligaments and joints and thereby stimulates increase number of proprioceptors and nerve cells of the body part and further thereby creates more activation of the muscles and causes the body part to be exercised more completely and evenly.
