Purpose and function of the product
All Protac's products are developed from the theory of sensory integration. The theory originates
in the USA and was developed by occupational therapist and psychologist A. Jean Ayres back in
the 1970s. The theory is based on how the brain processes sensory impressions and how the dif-
ferent sensory stimuli can be influenced through weight and pressure on the tactile sense (sense
of touch) in the skin and the proprioceptive sense (sense of movement) in muscles and joints. The
pressure, movement and weight of the balls stimulate these particular senses.
