  Modern orthopedic technology  
  Dear Sir or Madam,

3D printing and digitization are finding their way into more and more occupational fields – and the auxiliary means sector is now one of them. To what extent new technical solutions are making life easier, especially in orthopedic technology, and where they reach their limits in everyday work, you can find out in our current Topic of the Month.

Have a nice week!

Love is the most important thing, everything else is secondary – Claudia Staudt realised this when she adopted her daughter. Lenas disability was not the focus of attention at any time. She wishes that her fellow human beings would see it in exactly the same way. How she copes with difficult situations, what she is particularly grateful and how she otherwise rolls, she tells us on REHACARE.com.

Dogs are not only popular pets, but in some cases they also do important work: Assistance dogs trained for people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are not only a physical companion in everyday life, but above all must also be a psychological support. The association Rehahunde Deutschland e.V. trains such dogs. This year it celebrated its 15th anniversary.
