Airex? balance beam - 64" x 9" trapezoid

After a hospital stay my 92 year old mother needed balance and endurance therapy. The balance beam although hard work for her, has helped a lot. This is worthwhile, I made it a rule she had to use it everyday. I set it up in the hallway and she walked sideways down and back, then rested and walked toe to heel down and back and then rested. Every week she improved, after 6 to 8 weeks she could do the whole routine and only needed to rest at the end of it and was walking around the house with her cane. There were other exercises we did everyday, but I felt this made the most difference.

UPS lost my item. I contacted the seller and it was replaced promptly. It is just like the one I use at physical therapy but newer and much cleaner. It is the perfect thing to help me make more progress with my rehabilitation at home.

I became familiar with this balance beam when I was in PT. I was working on some lateral ankle issues and walking backward and forward on this helped me stabilize and build core strength. After PT I wanted on for home use and was surprised I found it here! The quality is identical to the one I was using at PT and I know it will last for a long time. I will say that it slides easily so using on a rug would be ideal. I'm working my way up to walking with my eyes closed in a heel to toe fashion. If you need a great training tool this will help you out.

I've had calcaneus surgery and subtular fusion. I used this beam at physical therapy and it helped . So I purchased my own for home. My wife even uses it !

I think this item might be a tad bit overpriced...time will tell if it lasts...my PT says I need a lot of work on my balance though and this really does help in that regard...I just hope it lasts...if it does then its worth the buy...
