Protac GroundMe^®

CASES

Female wheelchair user with Parkinson's and depression

The care staff reports that the woman uses the Protac GroundMe^® in her room and finds it stimulating. The staff senses that it has a calming, distracting, and thought-diverting effect on her, as she is more focused on the movement of her feet than on racing thoughts and worries.

9-year-old girl with ADHD

The girl uses Protac GroundMe^®  for homework and meals, as she has difficulty sitting still and being present in these situations: "I notice that her behavior becomes calmer, and she is more present when she uses the foot cushion. For once, she sits properly on the chair, where she typically is extremely restless and sometimes must give up on eating the meal as she cannot remain seated on the chair. The foot cushion provides her enough calmness to stick with what she is doing."

High maintenance boy in kindergarden

The boy tries The Protac Ball Cushion^®  on a high-chair and it helps him to sit more calmly. Then he also is given the Protac GroundMe^® under his feet, which helps him become significantly more attentive and calmer and allows him to follow along with what is happening around the table.

Two boys with motor unrest in kinder garden

We have two boys who especially benefit from the foot cushion . They concentrate better and can finish an entire melting beads design, which they otherwise never do. We also use Protac GroundMe^® for assembly, which always takes place on the floor. When they sit on the GroundMe^® cushion, they can remain seated with the rest of us, without having to run around, and they participate more actively.
