Protac MyFit weighted ball vest
Protac MyFit® - ball vest
A weighted vest that stimulates the senses, has a calming effect and improves the body's feeling.
The Protac MyFit® has been developed based on theories about sensor-motor integration. The special design of the vest ensures point-wise pressure and deep-acting pressure. This pressure through the skin stimulates the sense of touch and also the feeling in muscles and joints. The many tactile impressions improve the feeling of the body via impulses to the central nervous system, which has a calming effect and gives a feeling of safety and security.
The Protac MyFit® is a smooth garment made of elastic fabric that fits tightly around the body. The vest has vertical tracks that are filled with special heavy plastic balls. The vest has a zipper on the front and has a simple cord system on the sides and on the back. It can be effortlessly adjusted by the individual user for the most optimal sensory stimulation.
- Improved information processing and concentration
For many children the vest can be of great importance at school: it has a positive influence on the ability to concentrate and information processing. The children wear the vest during class and can also keep it on during playtime. Children in kindergarten groups use the vest, for example, during food breaks, during group activities and when playing. Adults with concentration problems can also use the vest in educational situations, while working with the computer or while reading.
- Activity and leisure
The vest works well with physical activity, for example with work in the garden or in the workplace. For people who feel a lot of anxiety and are anxious, the vest can offer a solution during daily activities outdoors, such as shopping. People who experience a lot of unrest in the work environment and have difficulty concentrating for a long time can benefit from the vest. The positive effect of the vest calms and gives an improved experience of the own body, which leads to improved concentration and less unrest.
- Treatment and training
Therapists use the vest for motor training and treatment, for example for children who do balance exercises or work on their coordination. The vest can be used by adults who suffer the consequential damage of a brain haemorrhage, such as spasticity, balance and tactile disturbances. The weight of the balls provides more focus on the damaged parts of the body. People with back problems can also benefit from using the vest: it gives a better posture and improves the body feeling. This contributes to relieving the pain.
- Different sizes
Protac MyFit® is available in 3 children's sizes and 4 sizes for adults, all with plastic balls with a diameter of 38 mm. The vest is equipped with various adjustment options, so that a specimen in a certain size can be adjusted for multiple body sizes.
