Orthopaedic Footwear Technology
Orthopaedic footwear technicians meet in the OTWorld.shoe-technology exhibition area. Here, visitors will find innovative techniques for the orthopaedic footwear technology trade and new products.
At the centre of OTWorld.shoe-technology is the meeting point for orthopaedic footwear technology on the subject of sensomotoric insoles. These are of great importance for neurological disorders, among other things. For which clinical pictures are they indicated and how can they be optimised? The fitting of sensomotoric foot orthoses requires craftspeople to have adequate user skills that go beyond basic knowledge. In addition, quality and care standards must be defined for individualised, indication-based and high-quality care. At the Orthopaedic Footwear Technology Meeting Point, which is jointly developed and supervised by the Competence Centre for Orthopaedic Footwear Technology and the Studiengemeinschaft Orthopädieschuhtechnik e.V., visitors can obtain information and exchange ideas on this important topic.
The congress also offers numerous programme items on the topic of healthy feet.
Rehabilitation Technology
The OTWorld world congress offers a comprehensive platform for targeted training and informs visitors about the latest developments and knowledge in the field of rehabilitation technology through a variety of workshops and other events. Through a range of topics and content, participants will have the opportunity to expand their expertise and learn about innovative approaches and technologies used in rehabilitation.

Medical Supply Stores
OTWorld is an indispensable industry event for the medical supply trade - as the most important address for further training and as a central international platform for the trade in medical aids and healthcare products. The latest offers for the product range, suggestions for shop design and product presentation, practical presentations and workshops - this is where employees get fit for the care of the future!
Better care through knowledge advantage
Compression care is a central service of every medical supply retailer. Specialist knowledge is required for the complex care of patients with lymphatic disorders. In the "Lymphology" workshop series, patients are shown how it can be done even better. More practical relevance is not possible!

More insight for commercial staff
The business management requirements for commercial employees in medical supply stores are increasing due to increasing digitalisation, but also due to the ever more extensive contracts with health insurance companies. On 1 July 2027, the e-prescription for medical aids will become mandatory for all orthopaedic companies and medical supply stores. It pays to familiarise yourself with the topic early on. On E-Prescription Day on 16 May 2024, numerous project partners such as the German Association of Orthopaedic Technology (BIV-OT) will provide insights into the "ePrescription for orthopaedic aids" pilot project at their exhibition stands.
OTWorld offers solutions for more transparency in the IT sector. All IT providers offering solutions in this area will be represented here. Visitors can also find out more about this important topic at the information stand in Hall 3 and on various tours of the trade fair.
