tilttábla

Tilttábla is a Hungarian term that translates to "tilt board" or "tipping board." It refers to a piece of equipment used in various physical therapy and rehabilitation settings, particularly for improving balance, proprioception, and core strength. These boards are typically flat surfaces that are balanced on a central pivot point or a curved base, allowing them to tilt in multiple directions. The user stands or sits on the tilttábla and must constantly make small adjustments to maintain their balance as the board moves.

The primary purpose of using a tilttábla is to challenge the body's stabilizing muscles, including those in the ankles, knees, hips, and core. By engaging these muscles, individuals can enhance their coordination, improve their ability to react to unexpected shifts in balance, and reduce the risk of falls. It is often incorporated into exercises for individuals recovering from injuries to the lower extremities, neurological conditions, or for general fitness improvement. The intensity of the exercise can be varied by the user's position, the speed of movement, or the addition of other tasks while balancing. Different types of tilttábla exist, ranging from simple rocker boards to more complex wobble boards with a wider range of motion.
