Pandemic strikes Paralympics: How the Coronavirus affects the Para Sports World
Topic of the Month
|
|
|
Coronavirus has changed the world and brought life to a grinding halt. Major sporting events like the Olympic and Paralympic Games, which were originally scheduled to take place in Tokyo in August and September, also fell victim to the pandemic and have been officially postponed. Read our Topic of the Month May to learn about the original plans of three athletes for 2020 and how it all changed and gain insights into the processes at Ottobock – one of the official supporters and sponsors of the Paralympic Games. The Coronavirus has also prompted many changes for this German prosthetics company in Lower Saxony.

It not only shaped him, but certainly helped him to find a clear answer to a question that had been on his mind for years. Which insights he draws from the Corona crisis and how he otherwise rolls, he tells us on REHACARE.com.

Senior drivers prefer watching videos to learn driver assistance technologies
|
|
Most vehicles today come with their fair share of bells and whistles, ranging from adaptive cruise-control features to back-up cameras. These advanced driver-assistance systems are in place to make driving easier and safer. Increasing evidence shows that older seniors, who are also an age group at higher risk for motor vehicle crashes, do not use many of these driver-assistance technologies.
