Zip Line Flying Fox

The KBT zip wire 'para' is a unique piece of playground equipment that offers a dynamic and engaging play experience for children, promoting the development of key occupational therapy goals.

• Gross Motor Skills:

  • Strength: Zip lining requires upper body strength, particularly in the arms and shoulders, to propel and guide oneself along the wire. This enhances muscle strength and endurance, essential for activities of daily living (ADLs) such as reaching, lifting, and carrying.
  • Coordination: Coordinating movements to grip the handles, maintain balance, and control speed requires fine and gross motor coordination, crucial for tasks involving hand-eye coordination, balance, and postural control.
  • Core Strength: Maintaining proper posture and balance while zip lining engages core muscles, improving postural stability and control, which are fundamental for functional mobility and participation in everyday activities.

• Sensory Integration:

  • Vestibular Input: The motion of traveling along the wire provides dynamic vestibular stimulation, enhancing balance, coordination, and spatial awareness. These skills are essential for navigating the environment safely and efficiently.
  • Proprioceptive Input: Gripping the handles and maneuvering along the wire provides proprioceptive input, which enhances body awareness and sensory regulation. This input can be particularly beneficial for children with sensory processing challenges.

• Play and Engagement:

  • Intrinsic Motivation: The thrill of zip lining provides intrinsic motivation for children to engage in physical activity, promoting active play and exercise that contribute to overall health and well-being.
  • Occupational Performance: Zip lining enhances a child's ability to participate in play activities and develop gross motor skills, which are crucial aspects of occupational performance and overall participation in life.

• Safety and Durability:

  • High-Quality Materials: The use of high-quality injection molded polyamide (PA) housing with a metal suspension frame ensures durability and safety, minimizing the risk of injury during play.
  • Safety Features: Anti-slip grips enhance safety and control during use, minimizing the risk of falls or slips.

• Compliance: All KBT products, including the zip wire 'para,' are tested and approved according to the latest European directives and regulations, ensuring safety and quality standards that meet the needs of children.

The KBT zip wire 'para' is a valuable addition to any home or backyard playground, offering a fun and challenging play experience that promotes the development of key occupational therapy goals, including gross motor skills, sensory integration, and participation in play. This equipment can contribute to improved functional performance in children and enhance their overall quality of life.
