Protac Sensit®

Design based on theories of sensory integration, to positively influence the different senses of the body. The seats include plastic balls, which affect the tactile and proprioceptive senses through weight and deep touch pressure to improve body awareness and increase general well-being.

This input provides deep pressure stimulation to the muscles and joints that can be calming and can assist the brain to separate relevant stimuli from the chatter of irrelevant stimuli.

This chair:

- Promotes calm and concentration - The chair is filled with balls in the seat and back, and in the special neck and side wings – thus enveloping the user and providing a sense of security and proprioceptive awareness.
- Movement within the seated position creates a gentle sensory resistance helping the brain to sort out and make sense of the physical surrounding and establish where that body is in space.
- Helps adults and children, who experience motor restlessness, to concentrate, and rest.
- Provides a ‘safe zone’ for those who find it difficult to be surrounded by lots of people.
- Provides sensory stimulation in sensory rooms, Snoezelen Multi-Sensory
Environments and in therapy and treatment rooms.

Optional Leg rest – Protac Sensit Pouffe

- The balls in the top of the Pouffe have a sensory stimulating effect as well as
promoting comfort.
