  Family life with leg orthosis
 
  Dear Sir or Madam,

Things don't always go according to plan in life. And for some, the world turns upside down from one moment to the next. This is what happened to Ann-Kathrin Ulbrich. Very pregnant, she suddenly developed paralysis in her right leg. Today, she is proud to have mastered the situation with a lot of courage. Thanks in part to state-of-the-art aids. Find out more about her in our How we roll interview.

Enjoy the day!

But she rose to the challenge and is proud of it. How she manages her everyday life, which aid is indispensable for this and how she rolls otherwise, she tells us on REHACARE.com.
