Abstract:
The object of the invention is an apparatus suited for individuals in training dynamic balance and turning maneuvers while walking, said apparatus allowing said maneuvers while an individual is standing, walking on a flat surface or walking on a treadmill that can rotate around a vertical axis of the treadmill. To serve this purpose, the apparatus of the invention is provided with a base platform (1), in which two universal joints (2,2′) are arranged that are connected with a pelvis element (5) with two vertical rods (3,3′) or vertically adjustable rods (30,30′) via conventional spherical joints (4,4′), and the universal joints (2,2′) have two degrees of freedom that can further be provided by drives (6,7,8).
