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
"I have a complex condition, with open wounds on my shins and it’s a journey to figure out how to manage that. At Protec, they think along with me and help me find solutions."

"I am happy to put my prostheses back on, lately they have often been in a corner. I don't regret my switch at all. They really take their time here, especially that, and watch you with several people. They are specialized and know what they are doing and always have a trick and solution if one does not work, yes they really think along with this."

"I arrived in the morning and left the house at four o'clock with a new prosthesis. At other instrument makers I was cast in plaster, I had to wait weeks for a tube and I had to make adjustments all the time. This was good at once. I could walk away with it right away, the tube fit like a glove. This prosthesis is attached to my leg and feels like one whole. That is quite a progress. Even though I don't walk much, I want to walk stable and good and I can do that again."
