Fashion and lifestyle: Comfort meets functionality

Dear Sir or Madam,

Clothes make the man (and woman) – and people have quite different needs and demands on clothing. For those who live with a disability, the motto "comfort meets functionality" is often particularly important. We took a closer look at what this can look like in the current Topic of the Month: Fashion for people with disabilities.

And by the way: That even assistive devices can be stylish and modern is shown by the transfer boards from meinHOLTZ, which were one of the eye-catchers at REHACARE 2019. What distinguishes them? We asked.

Have a healthy week,

Is it a skateboard with no wheels? No, it’s a transfer board made by meinHOLTZ! These modern boards help people who use wheelchairs to easily move from one surface to another on their own. Not only does this make transfers easy, but the assistive devices also look stylish and sophisticated.

These vary greatly depending on the type of disability. What requirements wheelchair users and people of small stature have and how the clothing industry reacts to them, you can find out in our Topic of the Month March: Comfort meets functionality – fashion for people with disabilities.
