Protac Ball Blanket®
The Protac Ball Blanket® is a sensory-stimulating blanket with large balls providing a pleasant and 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 and promotes an improved body awareness. This lowers the stress level of the brain and body and helps the user to relax and fall asleep more easily. This effect of the Protac Ball Blanket® has been documented through several research projects, and the Protac Ball Blanket® has been shown to alleviate sleep problems and increase daily well-being. This is why the Protac Ball Blanket® is suitable for people with sensory disturbances, physical unrest and diagnoses like e.g. ADHD, autism, anxiety, psychiatric disorders, dementia, developmental disabilities, and brain injury.Protac Ball Blanket® is intended to compensate for a permanent disability. It contains custom-made 50 mm balls and the dynamic movement of the balls is important for the long-lasting effect of the blanket. All Protac blankets are CE-marked.
