Bolt Board

The Bolt Board is a premium sensory motor and perceptual training device designed to improve fine motor skills, bilateral coordination, dexterity, hand strength, and cognitive function. Constructed from high-quality lacquered wood with a felt-covered base to protect work surfaces, the Bolt Board provides therapists, educators, and rehabilitation professionals with a durable and versatile tool for developing functional hand skills through engaging, hands-on activities.

Featuring a carefully selected range of bolts, nuts, and washers, the Bolt Board offers progressive difficulty levels by increasing bolt sizes from ¼” to ½” and varying thread patterns from coarse to fine. This progression allows users to gradually develop finger dexterity, precision grip, tactile discrimination, visual perception, and problem-solving abilities while completing practical fastening tasks.

Ideal for occupational therapy, physiotherapy, neurological rehabilitation, paediatric therapy, and educational environments, the Bolt Board is suitable for both clinical settings and home rehabilitation programmes.

Why Choose the Bolt Board?

The Bolt Board is specifically designed to challenge and improve multiple aspects of upper limb function. Manipulating different-sized bolts and matching nuts requires coordinated hand movements, visual-motor integration, tactile feedback, and concentration, making it an excellent rehabilitation and educational resource.

The progressive threading system encourages users to refine their movements as they advance from larger, coarse-threaded bolts to smaller, finer-threaded fasteners. This gradual increase in complexity helps build confidence while continuously developing functional hand skills.

The felt-covered underside allows the Bolt Board to remain stable during use while protecting tables and therapy surfaces from scratches or damage.

Features of the Bolt Board

The Bolt Board has been manufactured using quality materials to ensure durability and long-lasting performance in busy therapy environments.

Key features include:

• High-quality lacquered wooden construction
• Felt-covered underside to prevent surface damage
• Progressive bolt sizes from ¼” to ½”
• Assorted matching nuts and washers
• Thread patterns progressing from coarse to fine

• Suitable for clinical, educational, and home environments

Its robust design makes the Bolt Board ideal for repeated daily use while maintaining excellent functionality.

Benefits of Using the Bolt Board

The Bolt Board provides a wide range of therapeutic benefits by encouraging repetitive fine motor activities that closely resemble everyday functional tasks.

Regular use can help improve:

• Fine motor coordination
• Hand and finger dexterity
• Grip strength
• Bilateral hand coordination
• Finger isolation
• Visual-motor integration
• Sensory perception
• Tactile discrimination
• Cognitive planning and sequencing
• Functional independence in activities of daily living

Because each fastening task requires concentration and controlled movement, the Bolt Board also assists with developing attention, patience, and problem-solving skills during therapy sessions.

Applications for the Bolt Board

The Bolt Board is suitable for numerous rehabilitation, educational, and developmental programmes, including:

• Occupational therapy
• Physiotherapy
• Hand therapy
• Neurological rehabilitation
• Stroke rehabilitation
• Paediatric therapy
• Sensory integration programmes
• Perceptual motor training
• School readiness activities
• Special needs education
• Home rehabilitation programmes

Its versatile design makes the Bolt Board appropriate for children, adults, and older individuals working to regain or improve upper limb function.
