Product purpose and areas of use
Sensory integration is the idea behind the development of all Protac products. The theory origi-
nated in the 1970s in the USA, and was developed by A. Jean Ayres, an occupational therapist
and psychologist. The theory is based on how the brain processes sensory impressions, and how
the various sensory stimuli can be influenced via applying weight and pressure to the tactile
sense (the sense of touch) in the skin and the proprioceptive sense (the sense of movement)
in muscles and joints. The pressure, movement and weight of the balls act on these senses in
particular.
The Protac MyFit was developed to help sufferers of function impairment.
Children, young and old people can benefit from the vest:
• Brain damage, including spasticity, Huntington's Chorea, Parkinson's Disease and other
ailments
• ADHD and autism
• Psychiatric diseases, such as dementia, schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, anorexia etc.
• Development problems, sensory problems, deaf/blind, etc.
• Stress
The Protac MyFit is used for treatment of the after-effects suffered by brain damage patients, to
strengthen balance and body awareness.
