Vestibular Sensory Equipment for Movement and Balance

Vestibular sensory equipment provides opportunities to experience different types of movement, including rocking, swinging, spinning, balancing and bouncing. These activities can be incorporated into sensory spaces, classrooms, therapy settings or everyday play at home.

Different Types of Vestibular Input

Everyone responds differently to movement. Some people actively seek fast or rotational movement, while others are more comfortable with gentle rocking, controlled balancing or slower changes in position.

Choosing suitable equipment allows children, young people and adults to explore movement at an appropriate pace and in a way that suits their individual sensory preferences and physical abilities.

Vestibular and Proprioceptive Input

Movement activities often involve more than one sensory system. Vestibular input is closely connected with proprioception, which provides information from the muscles and joints about body position and movement. This is why many balance, climbing, rocking and active-play products may support both sensory systems.
