BalanceMaster awarded level two accreditation by IFI
The mark II BalanceMaster lower limb exerciser has been awarded level two accreditation by Inclusive Fitness Equipment (IFI).
The stage two accreditation is part of the IFI's Equipment Research and Development Programme, which involves consultation with disabled people, fitness equipment suppliers and a range of other health and fitness professionals.
The scheme aims to ensure disabled customers' needs are fully met by the equipment in question, and IFI Stage Two Equipment Standards were brought in to replace Stage One in September 2007.
The machine has been upgraded with improvements to the user control console, which include embossed control buttons to assist partially sighted users, plus additions such as high-visibility step markers.
