Paediatric Therapy Positioning Board

Universal Therapy Board - Large - Padded - Paediatric

SKU: UTB-001.01

The Most Versatile Therapy Board for Paediatric Therapy
 

The Universal Therapy Board - Large - Padded - Multipurpose is a highly versatile therapy platform designed to support a wide range of paediatric therapy exercises, positioning strategies, and vestibular activities.

Designed in consultation with therapists, this board provides a stable, padded surface that can be used independently or combined with other therapy equipment, such as:

• Astronaut Vestibular Spin Boards
• Lateral Tilt Balance Boards (15° and 30°)
• Foam blocks and therapy supports

This allows therapists and parents to create multiple therapy setups using a single piece of equipment.

 

Why This Board Is Essential In Therapy

The Universal Therapy Board allows therapists to adjust positioning, angles, and movements, which is critical in paediatric therapy.

Therapy positioning and graded movement are commonly used to:

• improve postural control
• provide vestibular input
• support motor planning
• develop core strength
• enable functional movement patterns

Research indicates that positioning and movement-based interventions can improve balance, coordination, and motor development in children undergoing rehabilitation.

 

Key Features

  ✔ Large padded surface for comfort and support
  ✔ Multipurpose design for multiple therapy setups
  ✔ Compatible with JDEN therapy equipment
  ✔ Durable construction for clinic and home use
  ✔ Designed for paediatric therapy applications
  ✔ Easy to reposition and adapt for different exercises

  ✔ Handles on sides and ends for easy handling

 

Core Uses In Therapy

1. Inclined Positioning (Against Wall or Bench)

The board can be placed at an angle against:

  • a wall
  • a wall frame
  • a therapy bench

This allows therapists to position children at graded angles, supporting:

  • postural control
  • weight-bearing activities
  • trunk strengthening
  • early movement training

2. See-Saw Therapy Setup

When placed on a foam block or cylindrical support, the board becomes a see-saw platform.

This allows:

  • controlled side-to-side movement
  • vestibular stimulation
  • dynamic balance exercises

3. Integration with Astronaut Spin Board

The Universal Therapy Board can be placed on top of the Astronaut Board to:

  • create a larger surface area
  • support bigger children
  • enable lying and seated vestibular exercises

This significantly expands the functionality of the Astronaut Board.

4. Integration with Tilt Rocker Boards

When placed on the Deluxe 30° Rocker Board, the Universal Therapy Board creates a:

Large padded see-saw platform

This allows:

  • children to lie flat while moving
  • controlled vestibular input
  • safe dynamic therapy activities

5. Flat Therapy Platform

The board can also be used independently as a:

  • floor-based therapy surface
  • positioning board for exercises
  • support platform for therapy tasks

 

Therapy Benefits

  ✔ Supports postural control and alignment
  ✔ Enhances vestibular and proprioceptive input
  ✔ Enables graded therapy positioning
