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
"Before, I sometimes spent an hour and a half in the fitting room without seeing anyone. I also had no idea what was being done to my prosthesis. Here, I sit at the coffee table, have a nice chat, and in the meantime, I quickly get a prosthesis that allows me to walk again. What more could you ask for?"

"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."

"In my arms and legs, dystrophy developed, and to make matters worse, I started suffering from thromboses. I was an independent dance teacher, had a wonderful and free life with my son, and suddenly I lost my freedom and independence. After years of being unable to walk, at Protec, I managed to start walking on two below-the-knee prosthetics within a week. I felt so lucky! I could have never imagined that it would feel this good."
