The Protac Ball Blanket® is the original sensory-stimulating blanket with large plastic balls, which provides a pleasant enveloping feeling for the entire body. The balls in the blanket stimulate the sense of touch and the muscle-joint sense through deep and dynamic touch-pressure, thus promoting an improved body awareness, which helps the user to fall asleep more easily. This effect of the Protac Ball Blanket® has been documented through several research projects, where Protac Ball Blanket® has been shown to alleviate sleep problems and increase daily well-being. Protac Ball Blanket® is suitable for people with physical unrest, ADHD, autism, anxiety, psychiatric disorders, dementia, developmental disabilities, and brain injury.
Unlike alternative cheaper products, Protac Ball Blanket® contains custom-made 5 cm balls, which are important for the blanket’s long-lasting effect. Protac Ball Blanket® has proven effective as a tool for Sensory Integration treatment and motor training in sensory rooms and clinics. The blanket can also be used as preparation for therapy and training sessions, so that the person is relaxed, collected and ready for training. The touch-pressure and movement of the balls also dampens spasticity and promotes calmness.
The Protac Ball Blanket® for adults is available in four different models depending on the user’s sensory needs: Protac Ball Blanket® Flexible, Protac Ball Blanket® Calm, Protac Ball Blanket® Combi, Protac Ball Blanket® Granulate.
The Protac Ball Blanket® can be advantageously combined with Protac MyFit®, Protac KneedMe® or Protac SenSit®, if further stimulation of the sense of touch and muscle-joint sense is needed during the day.
