“I wanted to touch base with you regarding the use of the Gerstung boards. I have found them to be very beneficial. Specifically, they make great tools in balance training in patients following knee, hip, foot/ankle surgery. Because the boards are relatively low to the ground, they are appropriate for patients at varying levels of rehab [ie. recently post-operative to high functioning]. The padding beneath the boards allows for decreased shock thus increasing patient’s tolerance for challenging balance and strengthening tasks.”
