Activity Day 2026 was a great success!
On Sunday, April 12, the Activity Day took place at the Maarschalkerweerd athletics track in Utrecht. The day was organized by Protec, De Hoogstraat Orthopedietechniek and Rijndam Orthopedietechniek.
On Sunday, April 12, children, young people, and adults with a prosthesis or orthosis came together with family and friends to discover new sports, meet one another, and above all enjoy a fantastic day.
Wheelchair basketball, blade running, gait training, a climbing wall, adapted golf, VR tennis, fitness, frame running, and cycling—there was plenty to try! Paralympic athletes Joël de Jong, Levi Vloet, and Annette Roozen were there to inspire participants and share tips. Associations Korter Maar Krachtig & Ledemaatjes were also present to meet participants and exchange experiences.
Many thanks to all participants, volunteers, family members, and everyone who attended. Together, we made it an unforgettable day!
We are only happy, when you are
"In the hospital, they suspected a streptococcal infection, and to save my life, my left upper leg was amputated. The physiotherapist at the hospital assured me that with a good prosthesis, I would be able to do everything again. He warned me not to be too quick to settle and not to be fobbed off with the first prosthesis I was offered. Advice that later came in handy."

"I can function very well with my prosthesis. I'm doing everything again, better than I used to, because I don't suffer from that pressure spot anymore. It feels very nice with that liner. The edges are softer and I can run longer distances much better. The whole process was done carefully. I am very happy with it."

"What I find a huge advantage of this method is the speed with which it works. In one day my prosthesis was ready and I could walk with it. I live on Vlieland and have to travel quite a bit to visit the instrument workshop. It is therefore wonderful if those visits are limited and you can walk out the door in 1 day with a new prosthesis that fits well."
