Product purpose and areas of use
Sensory integration is the idea behind the development of all Protac products. The theory
originated 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.
