Graded Peg Board

The Graded Peg Board is a specialised rehabilitation and perceptual training tool designed to improve fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, depth perception, and visual discrimination. Commonly used by occupational therapists, physiotherapists, rehabilitation professionals, and educators, the Graded Peg Board provides progressive activities that challenge patients to recognise differences in size, height, and spatial positioning while developing functional hand skills.

Designed with five rows of graded-height pegs, each row is painted a different colour to provide clear visual cues that assist with perceptual training and cognitive development. The varying peg heights create increasingly challenging tasks that encourage precise hand movements, visual-motor integration, and problem-solving skills, making the Graded Peg Board suitable for patients of different ages and rehabilitation levels.

Ideal for hospitals, rehabilitation centres, occupational therapy departments, schools, and home therapy programmes, the Graded Peg Board offers an engaging and effective way to improve upper limb function through purposeful activity.

Why Choose the Graded Peg Board?

The Graded Peg Board has been specifically developed to assist patients who require advanced training in size discrimination, depth perception, and fine motor control. Unlike standard pegboards, the graded peg heights encourage users to carefully judge distance and positioning before grasping and placing each peg.

The colour-coded rows provide additional visual feedback, helping therapists introduce exercises that target visual perception, cognitive processing, sequencing, and colour recognition alongside upper limb rehabilitation.

Its progressive design makes the Graded Peg Board suitable for both assessment and treatment, allowing therapists to monitor improvements in coordination, dexterity, and perceptual abilities over time.
