Abstract:
1. A method of self-stabilizing using an adjustable foot prop while standing on one foot, the foot prop including a planar shelf penetrated throughout by an overlarge clearance hole, a post extending through the clearance hole, and a resilient ring fitting tightly around the post and limiting downwards shelf movement at an initial position along the post, the method comprising: placing the adjustable foot prop at an intersection of two vertical surfaces with the shelf contacting the two vertical surfaces, the post extending upwards towards the intersection from a post bottom end resting on a base surface, and the shelf positioned at the initial position with a shelf bottom surface contacting the resilient ring; rotating the shelf with respect to the post so that the clearance hole surrounds but does not contact the post while sliding the shelf along the post to a desired height from the base surface; reverse-rotating the shelf with respect to the post so that the shelf grips the post at opposite sides of the clearance hole at the desired height from the base surface; and resting a raised foot on the shelf causing the shelf to further reverse-rotate and grip the post more tightly at the desired height from the base surface.
