Figure 8.2 The cavaletti poles are spaced so that each foot steps only once in each space. The height of the pole

Figure 8.3 This patient walks on a 2 × 8 × 10′′ plank working on his balance. He is then challenged, having to step
over blocks while walking on the plank. The last challenge is to use a warped board to make it wobble while he is
walking. Source: Photo by Whitney Rupp.


Figure 8.4 The patient’s diagonal limbs are placed on the blocks to work on balance and improve trunk strength.
