BIOSWING® feedback module

BIOSWING® feedback moduleThe feedback module for the Posturomed® 202 and the Posturomed® compact allows a more precise visual control of the vibrations of the therapy surface. This makes it easier for both the patient and the therapist to check whether certain exercises are being performed correctly or sufficiently.The feedback module consists of three red and three black plates. The black ones are attached to the vibrating surface on the front and both outer sides. The red counterparts are attached directly to the fixed part of the Posturomed® underneath the black plates. The black and red plates must each be installed so that they are exactly on top of each other.When the therapy surface vibrates during an exercise, the black plate also vibrates and you can see the "distance" to the red plate very well. This provides visual feedback on the movement and the direction of oscillation of the surface.The feedback module is useful to check the correct execution of exercises.Product details: Scope of delivery: 3x black plate, 3x red plate. Suitable for the Posturomed® 202 and the Posturomed® compact Note: The black plate is used with the provocation module to attach the oscillating surface in a deflected position.

BIOSWING® Posturomed 202

The Posturomed® 202 is the neuro-orthopaedic diagnostic, prevention and therapy device with a dosed damped unstable surface. This therapy surface is attached to special oscillating elements which allow dosed damped evasive movements in a certain frequency range and with differently adjustable vibration amplitudes. Due to the dosed increase of the proprioceptive, vestibular and optical afferences on the Posturomed® an optimal quality of postural actions and reactions can be worked out. This individually dosed Activation of the segmental, sectoral and polysegmental coordination serves the optimal stabilization of the supporting joints and the spinal column. A stable postural system forms the Basis of a painless and efficient movement system, especially for long lasting monotonous activities. The crosshairs located on the 60 x 60 cm therapy area with Circle centring enables the user to visually orientate himself during training. This identification enables standardised test procedures such as the PosturoKybernetikTest PKT. The enclosed intervention train enables on the one hand the manual calming of the therapy area by the therapist, on the other hand the targeted deflection of the therapy area for a reactive training. The Posturomed® 202 can be supplemented by numerous additional modules, which significantly expands its already large spectrum of indications. Approved as a medical device in the class 1.

BIOSWING® Posturomed® compact

BIOSWING® Posturomed® compactThe BIOSWING® Posturomed® compact is the "little brother" of the BIOSWING® Posturomed® 202 and is suitable for the same exercises to improve coordination and stability.The BIOSWING® Posturomed® by HAIDER® is a sensorimotor device for prevention, therapy and diagnosis. The therapy surface, also called the "swinging surface", is suspended on a double swinging mechanism. This enables dosed, damped pendulum movements. The oscillation amplitudes can be set differently.Through the dosed provocation of motor control and regulation from the somato-sensory system in a closed movement chain on the BIOSWING® Posturomed®, an optimal quality of postural actions and reactions can be worked out. This activation of segmental, sectoral and polysegmental coordination serves to stabilise the weight-bearing joints and the spine. A stable sensorimotor system forms the basis of a pain-free and efficient movement system.When should I choose the BIOSWING® Posturomed® compact?The compact version of the BIOSWING® Posturomed® is particularly suitable when space conditions do not allow the stationary BIOSWING® Posturomed® 202 to be set up. With its therapy area of 40 x 40 cm, the BIOSWING® Posturomed® compact takes up less space. In addition, it can be folded up quickly and easily and put to one side. If it is needed, it can be set up quickly in just a few steps and is ready for use.The BIOSWING® Posturomed® compact is also suitable for anyone who wants to use it in different places. Whether in different wards in the clinic or therapy centre, or even on the road: this Posturomed® is easy to transport and fits in any car boot.The advantages of the BIOSWING® Posturomed® compact: Takes up less space Can be quickly folded up and put away Is perfect for mobile use as it can be easily transported Tip:If you have enough space for the BIOSWING® Posturomed® 202 and do not need it for mobile use, then we always recommend the BIOSWING® Posturomed® 202. With its larger therapy surface, it opens up more varied exercise options for you. It also has a 3-sided handrail (in contrast to the 1-sided handrail on the BIOSWING® Posturomed® compact), which ensures more safety for the patient. Furthermore, more additional modules can be attached than with the compact version.Differences to the BIOSWING® Posturomed® 202: Smaller therapy area: 40 x 40 cm instead of 60 x 60 cm Handrail on one side instead of 3 sides Lower weight: 27 kg instead of 42 kg Handrail can be folded in When folded, the BIOSWING® Posturomed® compact can be easily transported using the carrying handle and castors. Note:As the BIOSWING® Posturomed® compact and therefore also the therapy surface is smaller and lighter, the oscillation frequency is also slightly higher than with the BIOSWING® Posturomed® 202, resulting in a slightly more demanding situation for the patient.Product details: Therapy surface / swinging surface: 40 x 40 cm Weight: 27 kg Foldable support railing on one side Suitable for stationary and mobile use Class 1 medical device Certified according to MDR 2017/745 Downloads: BIOSWING® Posturomed® user manual

BIOSWING® Contact Module

BIOSWING® Contact ModuleThe contact module is used to apply tactile stimuli and thus optimise the execution of exercises. It is also extremely helpful in combination with the rehabilitation module: When used appropriately, it generates additional resistance that significantly increases the range of exercises with the rehabilitation module.The contact module consists of two components: The two steel sheets are attached to the railing of the Posturomed® 202. The notches allow the rubber bands to be attached. A total of 4 rubber bands in two different lengths can be stretched as desired in and around the Posturomed® railing and attached to the notches of the steel sheets. The contact module offers these possibilities: Tactile feedback: The rubber bands can be used to control the range of movement during exercises. For example, the patient lifts his leg until his foot touches the band. Resistance (especially in connection with the rehabilitation module): If a long rubber band is stretched completely around the railing, it can provide additional resistance during exercises with the rehabilitation module. Example: higher resistance during movements into adduction, abduction, extension or flexion. Hurdle: The rubber bands can be attached at an appropriate height and serve as a hurdle, for example for a big step or a jump onto the swing surface. Product details: Scope of delivery: 2x steel sheets with notches, 2x long yellow rubber band, 2x short yellow rubber band.

BIOSWING® OSG module

BIOSWING® OSG moduleThe OSG module for the Posturomed® enables demanding exercises that stress both the upper and lower ankle. The sensorimotor stimulating movement impulses of the Posturomed® swing surface are also used outside the horizontal plane.The OSG module is a round plate with a diameter of 32 cm that is attached to the bolt circle of the Posturomed® 202 or Posturomed® compact by means of a plug-in connection.The module has a tilting axis whose angle can be adjusted on the underside. Depending on the setting, the footprint tilts by 7, 10, 15 or 20 degrees.Depending on how the module is aligned, the axis tilts to the right/left, front/rear or diagonally.Depending on the orientation of the module or the patient's foot on the module, the ankle joints can be provoked in their different functional axes for their stabilisation ability. Such exercises place higher demands on the stabilisation of the upper and lower ankle joint and are therefore mainly suitable for advanced practitioners, for well-stabilised patients or for athletes. In addition, the OSG module is used in neuro-orthopaedic rehabilitation and orthopaedics.Advantages: Adds challenging exercises to the training spectrum. Offers another level beyond the horizontal swing surface Individual adjustment of the tilt angle to the individual patient Quick and easy installation via plug-in connection on the bolt circle Important: The adjustment of the tilt angle must always be adapted to the individual conditions of the patient. 7 degrees is the physiological maximum angle for medial and lateral gaping of the OSG. At 10, 15 or 20 degrees, on the other hand, there is a risk of overloading the capsular ligamentous apparatus of the OSG and USG if this is pre-damaged, e.g. after supination trauma.Product details: Scope of delivery: 1x OSG module Diameter of the standing surface: 32 cm Tilt angle of the standing surface varies between 7, 10, 15 and 20 degrees depending on the setting Installation by simple plug-in connection with the pitch circle of the Posturomed®.

BIOSWING® Provocation Module

BIOSWING® Provocation ModuleThe provocation module is an additional module for BIOSWING® Posturomed® 202 and compact.It enables recurring, exactly reproducible provocations to be administered to the patient.First, the provocation module itself is used to set whether the therapy surface is to be deflected by 10, 20 or 30 millimetres. Then the module is attached to the outside of the Posturomed®.In addition, both latches of the Posturomed® should be open so that the therapy surface can deflect by the corresponding 10, 20 or 30 mm.By means of the provocation module, the therapy surface is now deflected ("pushed to the side") and locked, i.e. "fixed". While the patient now stands on the therapy surface and, if necessary, performs a given exercise, the therapist can simply step on the outer part of the additional module. The therapy surface swings back to its starting or standard position in the middle and thus triggers a provocation. The patient has to compensate or stabilise this impulse.Depending on the patient's position on the therapy surface, the direction of the provocation also changes: For example, the muscles primarily used can be adductors, abductors, hip extensors or hip flexors.The advantage of the provocation module: The provocation impulses can always be reproduced exactly and the patient's reactions can be compared.Product details: Scope of delivery: 1x provocation module Deflection of the therapy area by 10, 20 or 30 mm Suitable for BIOSWING® Posturomed® 202 and BIOSWING® Posturomed® compact Note: If you also purchase a feedback module for your Posturomed®, only the red and black rocker switch is supplied. The black counterpart is then already included in the delivery of the feedback module. Downloads: User manual

BIOSWING® rehabilitation module

The BIOSWING® rehabilitation module is an accessory for the BIOSWING® Posturomed 202. It is used for directional stabilisation exercises on the Posturomed 202. With the rehabilitation module, which can only be connected to the Posturomed® 202, pelvic, knee joint and ankle joint stabilisation exercises can be carried out in a closed kinetic chain in higher frequency muscle synergism. Due to the possible partial relief of the lower extremities, the rehabilitation module can be used in an early rehabilitation phase. Once the rehabilitation module is mounted, it can be easily and simply attached to the Posturomed with the plug-in system. While the patient stands with one leg stable on the fixed element above the therapy surface (fixed point), the other leg stands unstable on the mobile element (mobile point), which is securely locked on the swinging therapy surface of the Posturomed®. With the help of the intervention traction or a cable traction device, the patient can additionally work against a resistance. For optimal use of the rehabilitation module, visual feedback on compliance with the directions of movement specified by the therapist is required: either via the feedback module (mechanical) or via MicroSwing measuring system (electronic).

Balance training for everyone

1. What should I look for when buying a balance board?

2. What do you train with a balance board?

3. Who are balance boards suitable for?

4. What is the best way to get on a balance board?

5. Which balance board is right for me?

What should I look for when buying a balance board

In the next section, we'll tell you which criteria are important if you want to buy a balance board and what you should consider when making your choice.

Size

The larger the surface area of the balance board, the more you can vary your stance and walking distance. Balance boards with a larger diameter are particularly suitable for beginners. Small balance boards are ideal for advanced users, but also for children (due to their height).
The higher the standing surface is from the ground, the more unstable the board is and the more difficult it is to keep your balance.

Material

Wood, rubber or plastic: it all depends on your personal preference. With wooden balance boards and wobble boards, however, you should make sure that you place a mat underneath. Exercise mats are particularly suitable for a firm grip. A non-slip base protects both the floor and you, as wooden balance boards can slip more easily than rubber or plastic models. This way you can avoid falling during your balance board exercises.

Surface

Balance board with studs or without? The surface structure also depends solely on your preference. You should just make sure that you have as stable a grip as possible. Dimples provide additional stimulation to the foot reflex zones when you use the balance board barefoot without shoes, and they prevent you from slipping off the board. However, if you want to learn to surf with a wobble board, for example, a smooth board is best.

What do you train with a balance board?

Sense of balance
Coordination & dexterity
Deep muscles & fine motor skills
Core and abdominal muscles
Foot, leg and gluteus muscles (when standing on the board)
Arm and shoulder muscles (when doing a plank/push-up on the board)
Back muscles Body tension

Who are balance boards suitable for?

Balance boards have their origins in physiotherapy. They are very suitable for strengthening the sense of balance and deep muscles and for training coordination and motor skills. In rehabilitation and physiotherapy, balance boards are often used to rebuild muscles or strengthen joints. They are training devices for young and old, beginners and advanced users, it just depends on the model or the variant in which they are used.

What is the best way to get on a balance board?

If you are new to balance training, we advise you to hold on to the wall, a solid, stable object or your training partner so that you don't fall over when you step onto the board. How else can you get on a balance board? You should step onto the models with a half ball cushion with your feet one after the other and as centrally as possible. Then you can carefully widen your stance by moving your feet outwards on the ball with small movements.

Which balance board is right for me?

Round, square, made of wood, plastic, with Bluetooth function or a balance board with wheels. There is a wide range of different models among the wobble boards. We explain the differences here and help you find the right balance board - whether it's a beginner's model or a wobble board for advanced users.

Balance boards for beginners

Balance spinning tops, also known as balance discs, are particularly suitable for beginners. They consist of an air-filled base, usually a ball or half of a ball, and a tread plate, like the MFT Fun Disc. Balancing on the MFT Fun Disc not only trains your sense of balance - it also requires coordination. The MFT Fit Disc is also ideal for beginners: An additional disk is attached to the underside of the balance spinning top, so you have a firmer footing and have to balance less than on the MFT Fun Disc.

The Togu Aero-Step Pro is a good alternative for those who don't want to balance on a central surface. It has one smooth side and one side with nubs, which also stimulates the foot reflex zones. The chambers are filled with air and provide a dynamic surface on which to train the stability of the foot and leg axis in particular.

The Togu Balanza Ballstep is also a balance board for all fitness levels and offers beginners a good way to get started with sensorimotor training. Thanks to the four balls under the wooden wobble board, the standing surface is dynamically unstable. This intensively exercises the fine motor skills and deep muscles.

Balance Boards for pros

This is "next level" balance training: balancing on wobble boards with removable and/or rotating elements, such as the MFT Trim Disc and the MFT Sport Disc. The Trim Disc consists of a balancing disc with 2 rails on the underside and a module on rollers for the feet, which rotates on its own axis and can be fixed in any position. The Sport Disc has a large base plate on the balancing disc to which two removable tilting boards are attached. This modular design enables sport-specific training.

Foot trainer

Foot health is particularly important to the manufacturer BlackBoard: they have developed a special foot trainer, the BlackBoard Basic, with which you can counteract blockages or impaired mobility in the tarsal bones. The tilt angle and direction of movement of the two connected standing surfaces can be adjusted as required using wedges. This allows you to specifically train and mobilize your foot muscles. The BlackBoard Basic can be extended with different wedge sets: the PerformanceBars (with acute tilt angles) and the MobilisationBars (even higher wedges).

Wobble board for physiotherapy with app analysis

Would you like to measure your patients' training or therapy progress in terms of balance and equilibrium? Now you can! With the MFT Challenge Disc 2.0, the balance board with Bluetooth transmits the measurement data to the analysis app. This allows you to check and specifically train coordination, balance and any imbalances between the left and right side. You can also play games on the board thanks to the feedback function via the app.

Balance boards when learning to surf

The MFT Trim Disc is an ideal balance board for surfing beginners. Thanks to the numerous modules, you can adjust the wobble board so that it comes close to surfing on the water. Balancing on the MFT Sport Disc is even easier than on a balance board made of two parts, as there are also balance boards for learning to surf that consist of a roller and a board that are not connected to each other.

Togu Balance Boards: Jumper, Ski-Trainer & Dynair Walker

The star among balance trainers: the Togu Jumper Pro. It is probably one of the best-known balance boards and can be found in numerous fitness studios and practices for good reason. More precisely, the Togu Jumper is a balance board with a standing surface: placed on the flat surface, you can perform your balance exercises on the dynamic surface of the air-filled hemisphere. This reduces the risk of losing your balance during training, which is why this side of the Togu Jumper is also perfect for beginners. If you turn it onto the uneven surface, its 25 cm height makes it more of a balance board for advanced users. As the name suggests, you can simulate skiing with the Togu Ski-Trainer. But the balance board can do even more: thanks to the unstable surface, it is a great addition to any full-body workout. With the Togu Dynair Walker, walking becomes like dancing on eggshells. The air cushion shoes are designed to strengthen ankle joints and improve their stability.
