In the therapy world, various swings serve different sensory needs.
-
Hanging swings provide big, whole-body movement for sensory regulation, balance, and core strength, usually used before or between tasks.
-
Kinnebar® foot swings give small, rhythmic leg movement to support focus and regulation during seated work.
-
Hanging swings deliver strong vestibular + proprioceptive input; Kinnebars provide mostly proprioceptive input.
-
Hanging swings help change a child’s regulation state; Kinnebars help maintain it.
-
They’re often used together in a sensory diet: swing to prep, Kinnebar to sustain attention.
