Forum programme with a focus on stroke, living with an arm or leg amputation, self-help

With its high-quality range of exhibitors and exciting programme items in the two forums, the 23rd European Trade Fair for Rehabilitation, Therapy, Care and Inclusion is the place to get information, network and set new impulses for the industry. Together with the Federal Association for People with Arm or Leg Amputees (BMAB), ‘Mobile with Prosthesis’ will be launched as a new themed special. There will also be a focus on the topic of ‘Stroke’. It will be examined from both a specialist and a patient/family perspective and will be covered in the forum programme by the three players, Stiftung Deutsche Schlaganfall-Hilfe and the specialist journals not and Gesundheitsprofi.

The ‘Mobitipp Innovations Series’ format is being continued following the positive response at the last event. Selected exhibitors will present their product innovations in short presentations. The online platform Guidzter.com will also be represented again with many guides on a large interaction area and will provide a colourful programme with a mixture of entertainment, sport, lectures and hands-on activities.

For people with disabilities, the dialogue is a valuable opportunity to further educate themselves as ‘experts in their own cause’. At the same time, experts are increasingly recognising the importance of actively involving those affected in the dialogue and benefiting from their expertise. Annika Gehrmeyer, Team Leader Medicine & Health at Messe Karlsruhe, emphasises: ‘REHAB 2025 stands for diversity and encounters: Here, people who rely on assistive technology can test, compare and experience products and receive valuable tips directly from manufacturers and retailers. Numerous benefits that make a visit to the trade fair well worthwhile.’
