Wobble balance ball

Core Functions in Occupational TherapyVestibular Input: The uneven, shifting base stimulates the inner ear, helping patients process movement and gravity to maintain equilibrium Proprioceptive Awareness: Continuous micro-adjustments teach the brain where the body is in space, enhancing joint position sense and spatial awareness. Core and Postural Strength: Balancing forces the abdomen, back, and lower limb stabilizers to engage, building the foundational strength needed for sitting upright at a desk or standing Motor Planning and Coordination: Multidirectional tilting requires the left and right sides of the body—and the upper and lower extremities—to work together smoothly during functional tasks Attention and Sensory Regulation: For children with sensory processing differences or ADHD, movement-based balance challenges can help "feed" the nervous system, leading to better focus and behavioral regulation
