Movies
Movie studios provide them for actors to rest on between performances to avoid wrinkling costumes.{{cite web |title=Francesca Bellini, 8x10 on set still, 'Who's Minding the Store?' |url=https://www.ebay.com/itm/362492958596 |website=eBay |access-date=7 December 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201207151114/https://www.ebay.com/itm/362492958596 |archive-date=7 December 2020}}
Exercise
There are two varieties for exercises:
- a long padded board which will accommodate the full length of the lying body
- a smaller wooden platform for standing upon.
The calf muscles or triceps surae may be stretched by a daily exercise of standing upon a slant board.{{citation |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=e8GjINewWmEC&pg=PA142 |author=Alfred L. Logan, Lindsay J. Rowe |title=The foot and ankle |year=1995|isbn=9780834206052 }}
