Consequently, the selection of suitable batteries or rechargeable batteries is also playing an increasingly important role in rehabilitation aids, as was impressively demonstrated at Expolife, the international trade fair for medical, rehabilitation and orthopaedic technology. AKKU SYS presented a wide range of solutions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the main advantages of battery-powered solutions is the improved mobility they offer. This gives the user more freedom and independence. Another advantage of such aids is that they are often lighter and easier to operate. With batteries, complex mechanical systems can also be replaced by simple electronic controls, which simplifies both set-up and operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common areas of application for batteries in the rehabilitation sector are electric wheelchairs, electric walking aids (rollators), compact electric mobility scooters (mobility scooters for the elderly), defibrillators, prostheses with built-in battery systems, electric stand-up aids (e.g. lift chairs), electric stair or bath lifts, orthopaedic insoles and shoes with special cushioning systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The specialist wholesaler AKKU SYS works with manufacturers to develop bespoke battery solutions for several of these electric aids. The Reha-Team offers a wide range of products specifically tailored to the needs of its customers. From small, portable batteries for everyday use to large, high-performance batteries for professional applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One example of their use in rehabilitation products is the LC Series \/ LCP Series from Q-Batteries. This series is specifically tailored to the rehabilitation market and is therefore very popular in this sector. The long range, reliable power supply and ease of use give users the mobility and independence they need. Customers can always rely on the performance of the batteries supplied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bj\u00f6rn Nowosadtko, Managing Director of AKKU SYS, on the importance of such solutions: \u201eGiven the sharp rise in enquiries, we continue to see enormous growth potential in the market for rehabilitation technology. For people with limited mobility, such as the elderly, these products offer a whole new level of freedom and can help them remain active and mobile independently for longer.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Market forecast for Germany: at least 30 per cent growth by 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The importance of the market for electric rehabilitation aids and mobility scooters for the elderly should not be underestimated, as demographic trends in Germany are leading to an increase in the elderly population. Younger and younger people are also switching to such aids. According to forecasts by the Federal Statistical Office, the proportion of people over the age of 60 will rise to 34% by around 2035. This also means that more and more people will be dependent on mobility aids in order to lead an active life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to estimates by wholesaler AKKU SYS, the market for electric mobility aids and mobility scooters for the elderly is set to grow by at least 30% by 2035. Retailers, rehabilitation centres and manufacturers operating in this sector are encouraged to contact AKKU SYS to discuss bespoke battery solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>###<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3,846 characters<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/en\/press\/2023-Reha_Expolife_DE.pdf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Press release (PDF_EN)<\/a><br><a href=\"\/en\/press\/Geschaeftsfuehrung-326-3000px.jpg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Picture of the management (Print, 3000px \/ JPG) <\/a><br><a href=\"\/en\/press\/Unternehmen-318-3000px.jpg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Picture of the company building (Print, 3000px \/ JPG) <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Image material from the media centre: Royalty-free use exclusively for journalistic press coverage of the company (excluding advertising \/ content marketing).
