ABL Big Ball Bounce Swing
The Big Ball Bounce Swing provides excellent vestibular and proprioceptive stimulation because it allows for controlled bouncing and vertical movement. The swing incorporates a 55cm therapy ball as the base for a variety of activities including flexion, extension, and postural adjustments. Can be used as both a swing and on the floor for controlled activities.
*Stimulates the cerebral cortex - the part of the brain that helps you focus.
*Strengthens the core and helps with the development of balance.
*Helps with sensory integration: how the brain organizes and interprets information. Sensory integration provides a foundation for later, more complex learning & behavior.
*Increases spatial awareness. Swinging movement helps perceptual skills, while also functioning as a calming activity. A rotational device is needed for this swing.
MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST:
All of the following wear points should be checked on a monthly basis.
- Check safety rotational device for wear on the carabiner and eyebolt. If found on either, discontinue use until
repaired or replaced.
- Discontinue use if device does not spin smoothly or makes noise.
- Check ropes for fraying, including parts of rope under any covers.
- Check wire loops for broken or split wires and discontinue use if found.
- Check all carabiners for wear. Make sure the self closing gate snaps closed properly and all pins are secure. With the locking snap, make sure the locking barrel is in the locked position.
- Check bar for wear at the attachment points and discontinue use if found.
- Check all eyebolts for wear and movement. If more than 30% of the thickness of the eye bolt is worn
away, discontinue use until replaced. If the eyebolt moves excessively, discontinue use until all hardware is checked and tightened.
- Check all knots and splices for wear and tightness and discontinue use if found.
*DO NOT USE IF WEAR EXCEEDS 30% OF DIAMETER.*
