Types of balance trainers for seniors A balance trainer is any piece of low impact balance equipment that gently challenges your stability, so the small muscles in your feet, ankles and core get stronger. There are four main types, and most people start with one or two. Foam balance pads and cushions A soft, dense foam square you stand on. The slightly unstable surface makes your legs work harder to stay steady. Foam balance pads are the gentlest place to start, easy to use beside a kitchen bench or grab rail for support, and quick to store away. A good first step for anyone returning to balance work after a fall or a knee operation. Wobble boards and rocker boards A round (wobble) or curved (rocker) board that tilts under your feet. Slightly more challenging than a foam pad, and a sensible next step once you feel confident on the softer surface. Useful for retraining ankles after a sprain, and for keeping the small stabiliser muscles active so you stay sure-footed around the home. Balance discs and stability discs An inflatable cushion you can stand on, sit on, or place under your feet at the dinner table. Balance discs are versatile and gentle, light enough to move from room to room, and they double as an active sitting cushion for anyone who sits for long stretches during the day. Standing frames and balance bars A sturdy frame with hand rails that gives you something solid to hold while you work on your balance. The right choice if you don't feel safe standing on a pad or board on your own yet, or if you need extra support after a hospital stay.
