INFLATABLE DEVICE AND METHOD FOR USING THE DEVICE

摘要

An inflatable device can be used for physical therapy, conditioning or training. The device has a support platform (10) and a flexible member (12). The flexible member (12) is attached or affixed to, and has a bowl-shaped distension projecting from one side of, the platform. This flexible member (12) is inflatable to a pressure for supporting a person. The device is inflated in order to support at least some of the weight of a person by compressing the inflatable device at or adjacent to its center. When the person wishes to later change the characteristics of the device, the pressur e in the inflatable device can be changed to change its stability.
