  • Can be on a Galileo platform or tilt-table to at least 70 degrees or, more.
  • Stand on the “strong side leg” with knee straight. Best, if you stand on one leg. If needed, stand on both legs.
  • Hold a 5 lb weight in the “strong side hand”. If too heavy, use less weight. If you can use more weight, do so.
