The invention relates to a therapy-blanket. It is square quilted, made in cotton or non-inflammable textile, and each square is filled with therapyballs.

A blanket filled with feather or artificial fibers is already known. Therapyballs are known from treatment of children by occupational therapists. The balls are here used in a basin in which the children moves around , and thereby stimulates different sensory systems. Furthermore, a sac filled with balls is well known and used in the treatment of , both as a closed sac where the children, on top of this, moves around on there stomach, and as an open sac, where the children crawls inside the sac and moves around here.

This invention consists of filling a blanket with therapyballs instead of feather or artificial fibers. Furthermore, the therapyballs are filled in a βqare quilted blanket, each square filled with therapyballs, different to previous use of therapyballs places in a basin or in a sac. In addition the blanket is placed on top of the user, while this is laying down, and the blanket is tucked into the body different to previous use, where the user had to crawl over a sac or to stay in a basin filled with therapyballs.

By the invention provides a therapy-blanket filled with therapyballs, helping different kinds of psychiatric disturbances, i.e. symptoms of psychosis, where motor disorders, restlessness, anxiety prevails. Other patients with Senile Dementia, Mentally retarded patients, and children with sensory integrations problems can also benefit from using the therapy-blanket.

The effect is obtained according to the invention because the pressure of the therapy-blanket stimulates the proprioceptive sensory system in effect inhibits the flow of impulses to the Central nervous system and obtaining a calming effect. Sensory impulses from the proprioceptive sensory system, and the tactile sensory system, contribute to increase the bodypercept and to give the patient the feeling of physical delimitation. The theory of Sensory Integration is evolved by the American occupational therapist A Jean Ayres.

The use of the therapy-blanket obtains the following advantages:

- periods of anxiety and motor restlessness disappears faster

- use of involuntary psychopharmacological treatment and restraint episodes diminishes.

- the time for restraint episodes is reduced

- the use of addictive medicine diminishes .

The therapy-blanket filled with therapyballs is sawn in cotton or nonin lammable textile . It is filled with therapy¬ balls and square quilted .
