The BAPS Board is like a wobble board on steroids. Having the dome size and position where it is placed changeable makes the board work things in different ways. I could really feel it when the therapist changed the position. I bought a wobble board on Amazon but couldn't replicate the exercises nearly so well. BAPS run $400-700. A wobble will do in a pinch or to use at home but BAPS is great if the clinic has one.

On mirror therapy, if you have a mirrored closet door he can sit on the floor with legs extended and the injured one behind the door or just prop a full size mirror, like a cheapy lightweight one for your closet door on some chairs. I used a long one so I could visualize the entire leg not just the foot. Sitting is better so that the toes can spread, flex, ankles circle etc. on the non-injured leg. standing might be a little awkward!
