Quoits (Quoits Rod and Hose Joint Fixture)—TR-06

For (With Whom)

People who need activities that promote eye-hand coordination, or activities of tracking and fixating on targets through conjugate eye movements.

Why

In rehabilitation with a school-age user, direct approaches such as writing or reading aloud were often disliked, so we wanted to promote visual input through play.

How

The size of the hose rings, how easy they are to grip, and the width of the quoits rod's base of support were tested in actual training and decided accordingly.

Outcome

We used it in the introductory phase of conjugate eye movement training, and the child seemed able to enjoy the activity.
