Linear Motion
Because the Linear Balance Glider for Vestibular Stimulation travels in a one dimensional path along a straight line, it uses linear motion. This form of motion is the most basic and most tolerable to sensory-avoiding clients. As the client becomes more tolerable of being in motion with the feet off the floor, activities can be added that help improve eye hand coordination and bilateral coordination.
Linear Balance Glider Activities
Once the client becomes more desensitized to motion, activities can be added that further challenge balance. For instance, the client can start out in a sitting, prone, or supine position and advance to a kneeling or standing position. Clients can use their own body weight to self propel themselves, or use the included pull handles to incorporate a hard work activity into the swing therapy session. Throwing balls or bean bags at a target while the swing is in motion helps improve eye-hand coordination and balance skills. Lying in a prone position while picking up bean bags off the floor helps encourage clients to cross the midline to work on bilateral coordination.
