Sibboard is an emerging training and rehabilitation device designed to enhance neuromuscular coordination, balance control, and core stability. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the historical development of the Sibboard, its classification within balance-training systems, and its key technical specifications. The study synthesizes existing design principles, biomechanical properties, and functional applications to evaluate its role in sports science, physiotherapy, and motor learning. Results indicate that Sibboard-based training significantly contributes to proprioceptive enhancement and postural stability
improvement in both athletic and clinical populations.
