  • Patent number: 8801098
    Abstract: A motorized chair system for promoting movement, balance, and vestibular processing and integration. The chair system features a chair component comprising a back support portion disposed atop a seat portion. The back support portion is formed from a first side panel, a middle panel, and a second side panel connected together, wherein rigid intersections are formed between the side panels and middle panel. A rocking component is positioned below the chair component. The rocking component is shaped to allow the chair component to rock. A motor system is operatively connected to a piston, the piston being mounted to a ground surface. The motor system functions to automatically rock the chair component forwardly and backwardly by pushing against the piston to pivot the system in a forward motion. A control button is operatively connected to the motor system. The control button functions to turn the motor system on and off.
