Ottobock debuts fresh offerings at the 2025 ISPO World Congress
Get Ready for Innovation Galore at Ottobock's I.S.P.O. Showdown!
From June 16 to 19, 2025, the global prosthetics and orthotics world will gather in Stockholm for the 20th World Congress of the International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics (I.S.P.O.) [1][5]. And guess who's gonna steal the show? That's right, it's Ottobock SE & Co. KGaA, the world-renowned trailblazer in prosthetics, neuroorthotics, and digital solutions [5].
Ottobock, with its 153 m² exhibition stand and a jam-packed line-up, is not just attending, but dominating the event [5]. Experts from Ottobock will be sharing their wisdom in symposia, workshops, and the new 'Technical Track' format [5]. They'll be challenging the status quo, inspiring the future of the industry and rocking the house with their groundbreaking ideas!
But what's the deal with that flashy motto for this year's I.S.P.O., "Science in Practice, Practice in Science: Collaboration and Innovation Towards Sustainable Rehabilitation?" It's a perfect reflection of Ottobock's core values: the smooth blend of science, technology, and human touch in creating care solutions that not just function heartily, but breathe life into people [5]. Oliver Jakobi, CEO of Ottobock, puts it this way, "Our aim is care that impresses not only functionally but also delivers new quality of life—thanks to digital innovations, bionic medical technology, and a deep understanding of individual needs. Sustainable rehab is only achievable when we bring science to life and set new standards together worldwide" [5].
A New Era of Prosthetic Care with Ottobock's speedhand solution
Now, let's dive deeper into the hot-off-the-press innovations that Ottobock will debut at the I.S.P.O. Congress. Get ready, because thespeedhand solution is set to revolutionize the prosthetic world! The star of the show, the speedhand, now enables more fluid, natural movements. With the new wrist flex joint, bending the prosthesis is easier than ever, making everyday tasks a breeze [1].
But that's not all! Myosmart control system is another game-changer. It lets users effortlessly control their prosthetic hand by detecting even the slightest residual muscle movements via electrodes in the socket [1]. To top it off, the connectgrip app allows for fine-tuning the prosthetic's performance right from your smartphone! Adjust response speed and much more – at any time and from anywhere [1].
Empowering Children with Ottobock's Maverick Junior and movido
Ottobock will also be championing a power duo in its prosthetic offerings for children. The Maverick junior prosthetic foot offers robustness, waterproofness, and lightweight design, making it perfect for kids. Tired of those clunky feet? Well, no worries, with this one, kids can run, play, and jump for hours without tiring [1].
As for the little ones still learning to walk on a prosthesis, movido is here to lend a hand. With its hydraulic swing phase control, movido helps children master the art of walking [1]. Essentially, this marvel lets the kiddo walk just like the rest of us!
NeuroMobility Solutions for a Better Life with Neurological Conditions
Ottobock is also stepping up its game to help people with neurological conditions like MS, spinal cord injury, or stroke. Join the party with the NeuroMobility portfolio, featuring classic orthoses, functional electrical stimulation models, active and E-roll wheelchairs, and the new-gen neuromodulation suit, exopulse suit [1]. The exopulse suit boasts 50 integrated electrodes, tackling muscle tension, pain, and fatigue caused by spasticity, as well as symptoms of fibromyalgia [1].
Are your knees giving you trouble? No worries, the microprocessor-controlled C-Brace is here to help. By regulating both the stance and swing phases, it helps individuals with partially or completely paralyzed knee extensors to walk again! [1]
Digital and Sustainable Solutions for Efficient O&P Workshops
Workshops dealing with Orthotics and Prosthetics face time crunches and a shortage of skilled professionals. To ease the burden, Ottobock presents practical solutions from its O&P Business Solutions business area [1]. Highlights include modern workshop equipment such as the new funnel milling machine, Pro-Fit 7000, and sustainable materials from the GreenLine series. Live demonstrations at the booth will help visitors witness the benefits of these innovations firsthand [1].
Digital healthcare is also on the radar, with the Connected Healthcare Solutions area focusing on the digital care process. This ranges from scanning and modeling to manufacturing, such as 3D printing. What's new? The TransferScan, which enables accurate internal measurement of test and interim sockets and transfers data with precision to the definitive socket [1].
Ottobock's also taking strides in combating bureaucracy. Smart documentation uses templates to simplify data collection and AI-assisted gait analysis visualizes the quality of care. Plus, a large language model eases the application process for aid reimbursement, creating more digital space for quality, less paperwork, and more time with patients [1].
In conclusion, Ottobock is using the I.S.P.O. World Congress to push the envelope in terms of prosthetics, neuroorthotics, and digital health solutions. Their presence at the event is a testament to their unwavering commitment to enhancing the quality of life people with disabilities, setting new standards together with experts worldwide, and shaping the future of rehabilitation [5].
