Shuttle Balance & Shuttle Balance Professional
Description
Shuttle Balance & Shuttle Balance Pro
The body’s ability to negotiate unpredictable changes in force, direction, and placement in space at the neuromuscular level are critical building blocks for performance and skill development. The Shuttle Balance provides a safe platform for individuals to develop and hone proprioceptive responses while performing a variety of sport specific and other nonhabitual activities. The suspended platform produces an unstable surface, invoking the use of stabilizers throughout the body. Exercises can be varied and progressed according to training and/or therapeutic goals. Working with implements of an athlete’s sport – such as throwing and catching a ball, swinging, etc. – stabilizers surrounding joints of the hip, ankle, knee and trunk are stressed as the body experiences alterations in its center of gravity. The degree of difficulty is determined by the amount of instability inherent to the platform’s suspension. Programs aimed at falls prevention for the elderly utilize wide placement of the suspension ropes under the platform, and up to the frame. The platform is a few inches off the ground, and fore and aft movement is restricted by the safety tethers. Protocols progress from a bilateral to a unilateral stance; eyes open then closed; working with hands holding the frame toward needing no support at all.
Unique Features:
- Large standing platform
- Sturdy steel frame
- Adjustable platform height (from floor to chair height)
- Five adjustable settings for fixed or variable degrees of plantar/ dorsi flexion
- Four corner-mounted safety tethers to control platform instability
- Overall Footprint: 43" x 50"
- Handle Height: 41"
- Platform Dimensions: 24" x 30"
- Load Capacity: 500 lbs.

Are any businesses exempt from Proposition 65’s requirements?
YES. Businesses with less than 10 employees and government agencies are exempt from Proposition 65’s warning requirements and prohibition on discharges into drinking water sources. Tartan Group is exempt from Proposition 65 requirements as our business has fewer than 10 employees, however, we feel that it is important to warn CA residents of the possibility that some of our products may contain chemicals that cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
