❗Incredible news for the O&P community and beyond: Medicare officially announced LCD changes that expand access to microprocessor-controlled knees (MPKs) for lower mobility users — a group that is often overlooked as users of this groundbreaking technology. 🦿🌟 Over the last two decades, Ottobock has been a driving force behind the research and advocacy that led to these changes. We are so proud and excited for what these changes mean for the O&P industry and the amazing community we serve. "The journey to expanding Medicare coverage for microprocessor knees to this group of patients has been long and challenging, but immensely rewarding. Our extensive research and clinical trials have consistently shown the profound impact that advanced prosthetic technology can have on individuals with limited mobility,” stated Dr. Andreas Kannenberg, the Executive Medical Director of Ottobock North America. “This expansion is not just a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team at Ottobock; it also underscores the importance of innovation and evidence-based practice in transforming healthcare and enhancing patient outcomes. We look forward to continuing our efforts to ensure that every patient, regardless of their mobility level, has access to the best possible care."

Last weekend our Ottobock Running Clinic took place in Lviv! From 5 to 7 July, 15 dedicated participants had the opportunity to learn how to run with sports prostheses and thus advance their rehabilitation. Under the guidance of Heinrich Popow, former Paralympian and initiator of the Running Clinics, the participants swapped their everyday prostheses for sports prostheses and completed intensive training and strengthening exercises before starting to sprint. The enthusiasm and motivation were overwhelming, and the athletic progress was impressive. The Running Clinic not only provided a platform for sporting success, but also for valuable dialogue and mutual support. #Ottobock #RunningClinic #WeEmpowerPeople © Philipp Abresch
