Mobility for people with disabilities

Mobility for people with disabilities faces a variety of challenges, encompassing both physical and societal barriers. A central obstacle is often the infrastructural conditions, such as the lack of barrier- free access to public transportation and buildings, which makes participating in road traffic difficult. This not only leads to difficulties in reaching important places and services but also impairs social participation.

Additionally, financial aspects pose a significant challenge, as many specialized mobility aids and vehicle modifications are costly and are not covered by insurance or government agencies. This results in inequalities in access to mobility solutions.

REHACARE actively addresses these challenges and provides platforms for discussion and the development of new approaches. Through the exchange of knowledge and experiences, the trade fair contributes to continuously improving mobility for people with disabilities and overcoming obstacles.

Mobility plays a crucial role in the independence and self- determined life of people with disabilities. It enables them to fulfill their own desires and needs, enhances the quality of life, and promotes social participation. Individual modifications and vehicle adaptations support and strengthen this independence.

An independent life means being mobile and making spontaneous decisions independently, whether it's commuting to work, attending medical appointments, or participating in leisure activities and social events. The ability to participate unrestrictedly in social life strengthens the feeling of independence and promotes integration.

Technological advancements in the field of vehicle customization for people with disabilities have made significant progress in recent years, greatly enhancing quality of life. New materials, advanced equipment modifications, and innovative driving assistance systems play a crucial role in overcoming everyday barriers.

Adaptive driving aids such as automatic ramps, electronic hand controls, and voice- activated systems are making vehicles increasingly accessible and easier to operate. These technologies enable people with disabilities to drive safely and independently without relying on external assistance.

One notable development is the introduction of wheelchair accessible vehicles (WAVs), which are designed to accommodate wheelchairs and provide seamless mobility. Another important advancement is the development of mobility aids, such as electric wheelchairs with extended range and intelligent navigation systems. These innovations increase mobility in urban areas and provide new opportunities for participation in social life.
