Motivation Wheelchairs

Ottobock cooperates with Motivation, the leading provider of mobility solutions for disabled people living in the developing world. All wheelchairs are adjustable so that they can be fitted to meet each individual’s needs and thereby reduce the risk of developing life-threatening secondary complications such as pressure ulcers. They are robust, so that they can cope with the potholes and rough terrain found in developing countries, and they are sustainable, using affordable and easily available materials so they can be repaired locally.

The right wheelchairs, training and support, enables people with disabilities to leave their homes, access school, work, and play an active part in their communities, fighting poverty and creating a positive effect on the economy.
