Pediatric patients and children who need minimal support as they perform balance-related activities can benefit from these sturdy and versatile balance poles. Both poles from Kaye Products are 46 inches tall and come in a set. Both are equipped with rubber tips on the bottom for extra stability. The rubber tips will keep the poles from sliding on the floor, reducing the risk of injury. These aluminum poles can be a great addition to pediatric therapy programs, hospitals, daycares, and homes. They are designed to be supportive during high-balance activities. This can include walking backward, standing on one leg, or stepping up and down. Children will have fun as they develop high-level motor skills when utilizing these Kaye Products Balance Poles. As children work on building balance skills, they will also be developing body awareness, hand-eye coordination, muscular strength/endurance, posture control, and isolated movement. Improving balance will also help kids when they are ready to learn how to ride a bike or scooter. They will be developing postural responses as well, such as using their hands to protect themselves from a fall.
Adding these poles to a classroom or daycare setting will help children gain confidence, self-esteem, and self-awareness. They are also beneficial in therapy programs for pediatric patients with neurological disorders or impaired movement. In addition to aiding young patients through balance-based activities, these Balance Poles can also facilitate arm swinging when walking.
