Geschichte

Ottobock – Worldwide Partner of the Paralympic Movement.

The Paralympic Summer Games have evolved into the second-largest sporting event in the world. More than 4,300 athletes from around the world competed against each other at the 2016 Rio Paralympic Games.

Ottobock has been a Partner to the Paralympic Games providing technical service since the Games 1988 in Seoul and has been an official “Worldwide Partner of the Paralympic Movement” since 2005. The cooperation agreement with the International Paralympics Committee (IPC) was renewed in 2016 during the Games in Rio, extending the partnership beyond Tokyo 2020. The commitment to the Paralympics has become part of the Ottobock company philosophy.

“We value our obligation to offer our expertise, our global organisation and our experience with orthopaedics technology of the highest quality for the benefit of worldwide sports for people with disabilities,” says Professor Hans Georg Näder, President and CEO of Ottobock. “Our partnership with the IPC is the foundation for the continuity of our support for athletes all over the world.”

After the great Paralympic Games 2016 in Rio we continue reporting about Paralympic Sports and the Paralympic Movement in general, up until the next Paralympic Winter Games 2018 in PyeongChang. Ottobock will once again provide a team of expert technicians to perform maintenance and repair of prostheses, orthoses, and wheelchairs used by athletes in competition as well as daily life. We can’t wait to see athletic performance taken to its limits and are looking forward to the discussion with you.
