The physical therapists already have a few wobble boards, which see a great deal of use. The wobble boards wobble on two axes, limiting motion, and one of the wobble boards, at 4 feet square, is too big to be of much use. However, the largest problem with the existing equipment is that there is not enough of it. With the two therapists moving between four schools, there is not enough equipment to maintain each location with the variety the therapists would like. Transporting the device is possible but awkward, and it would be much preferred to stock each school with its own wobble board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Design<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"566\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/design-for-independence\/files\/2023\/03\/Wobble-Board.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/design-for-independence\/files\/2023\/03\/Wobble-Board.png 566w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/design-for-independence\/files\/2023\/03\/Wobble-Board-300x226.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 566px) 100vw, 566px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Wobble Board<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Materials<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>3\/4\u201d plywood<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2\u201d x 12\u201d x 15\u201d hardwood<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wood glue<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>8 wood screws<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wood filler<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Primer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Non-toxic acrylic paint<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tools<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Band saw or CNC machine for cutting base<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Miter saw<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sander<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drill<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pant brushes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tape measure, t-square, pencil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Purpose Physical therapists serving the elementary school system of Rhea County, TN, requested balance equipment to be used as part of the therapy offered to disabled students under their care.
