Abstract

Proposed are an aquatic exercise apparatus and a method for exercising aimed at improving mobility of a user by exercising in water. The apparatus consists of base support and a balance board, which is connected to the base support via a resilient body that allows tilting of the balance board in any direction and a mechanism that provides free rotation of the balance board. Exercising in water allow people with mobility deficits to perform exercises without a fear of falling, decreasing pain, and improving cardiovascular return.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to apparatuses and methods for exercising therapy and, more particularly, to an aquatic exercise apparatus and a method for Improving mobility of a user by exercising in water. More specifically, the apparatus and method of the invention are suitable for improving mobility, balance, and strengthening joints of a human body by executing exercises in water. The apparatus and method are especially useful for seniors who are more prone to falls.[0002]Seniors struggle with a range of problems that can negatively affect their mobility, especially those associated with age-related conditions such as Alzheimer and Parkinson diseases, osteoporosis, loss of vision, heart disease, shuffling gait, and in some cases, imbalances caused by prescribed medications, which can cause dizziness and weakness, in particular, when several of these factors combine. In older people, these conditions significantly increase a risk of losing ba...
