1012V Wooden square balance board

The product is not available in your country.

Unidirectional large square proprioceptive board. This unstable base is particularly versatile and useful for improving balance, coordination and stability as part of exercises dedicated to physical training and rehabilitation. As it is unidirectional, it provides instability in only one direction, allowing more precise and targeted control of the exercise. Useful for concentrating work on specific planes of movement, or for performing overloaded exercises. The square shape then allows for alternating unidirectionality depending on the type of exercise.

The 1012V tablet is part of a line of three proprioceptive tablets equipped with a practical binder:

This series, optimally finished by means of a non-slip protective film and careful processing of the edges, is designed to offer different and complementary solutions for proprioceptive training, adapting to the specific needs of each user.

SQUARE WOODEN BALANCE BOARD

The Square Balance Board Code 1012V is a uni-directional wooden proprioceptive board that is beautifully finished with a non-slip protective film and carefully crafted edges. It is designed to provide instability in one direction only.

Unidirectional instability: the tablet offers instability in only one direction, which allows you to focus your training on specific movements and improve precision and control during exercises, even with overload.

Square shape: The square shape of the tablet allows for alternating unidirectionality depending on the type of exercise (latero-lateral or antero-posterior), thus offering greater versatility in training. This feature is particularly useful for varying movement planes and targeting work on different areas of the body.

Benefits for Training and Rehabilitation: unidirectional instability helps improve joint stability and strengthen the stabilising muscles, crucial for injury prevention and athletic performance. Precise movements make it possible to isolate and work on specific movements, improving precision and motor control, fundamental elements for both athletes and those following a rehabilitation programme.

Finally, the possibility of alternating unidirectionality allows for a wide range of exercises, adapting to the needs of different types of training, specific physical preparation and rehabilitation.

TECHNICAL SHEET

Using Proprioceptive Boards in Rehabilitation and Physical Preparation

The proprioceptive boards, comprising the Round Balance Board Art. no. 1011, the Square Balance Board Art. no. 1012, and the Rectangular Balance Board Art. no. 1013, are essential tools in both rehabilitation and athletics. Their main function is to train the body on unstable surfaces by stimulating the proprioceptors, which are sensory receptors located in the muscles, joints and connective tissues.

Proprioception stimulation

Training on unstable surfaces such as those offered by proprioceptive boards forces the body to make constant adjustments to maintain balance. Proprioceptors constantly send messages to the central nervous system, providing feedback information on body movements. This process helps improve spatial awareness, co-ordination and neuromuscular response.

Aims in Rehabilitation

In rehabilitation, the use of proprioceptive boards is essential to recover the functionality of joints, especially ankles and knees. Controlled instability:

increases joint mobility: promoting greater flexibility and range of motion.
strengthens the joints: by stimulating the stabilising muscles that support the joints, it reduces the risk of injury recurrence.
improves proprioception: essential for injury prevention and effective recovery after injuries.

Athletic Aims

For athletes, proprioceptive tablets offer numerous advantages that translate into performance improvements:

joint stability: by strengthening the joints, the ability to maintain a correct posture while performing exercises or athletic gestures is improved.
Squat depth: by improving ankle mobility and strength in the stabilising muscles, greater squat depth can be achieved, which is essential for Olympic weightlifting and other sports.
Coordination and balance: the constant need to adapt to unstable surfaces improves balance and coordination, crucial elements for the effective and safe execution of athletic movements.

Types of Proprioceptive Tablets and their Functions

Code 1011: Balance Board Round, multidirectional, made of wood. It is the most classic of the proprioceptive boards, also called Freeman's board or 'Priest's hat', and offers ample multidirectional movement. It is ideal for exercises focused on improving range of motion in all directions, with particular reference to the first phases of rehabilitation, dedicated to recovering ankle mobility, without overloading. It can also be used for balance and coordination training, but, often, with help from a backboard or other support.
Code 1012: Square, unidirectional, wooden Balance Board. Provides instability in one direction only, allowing more precise and focused control of stability. Useful for concentrating work on specific planes of movement, or for performing overload exercises. The square shape allows alternating unidirectionality depending on the type of exercise.
Code 1013Balance Board Rectangular, unidirectional, made of wood. The rectangular shape, narrow and long, and the unidirectional instability make it particularly suitable for specific exercises, characterised, for example, by high overloads. In fact, the long, narrow shape allows the athlete to spread his feet apart and enjoy a more controllable instability, which also allows exercises with high overloads, even with a barbell.

Integrating proprioceptive boards into the training programme, or rehabilitation, optimises neuromuscular function, improves athletic performance and accelerates post-injury recovery.
