A lot has happened since the company was founded in 1955. The concept that emerged at the time as the "Institutet för Bråckskador" set itself the goal of supporting athletes in their training and in competitions without restricting their freedom of movement and mobility. The expertise for this comes not least from a merger that took place around the year 2000 with the Otto Bock Group, which in turn is one of the largest manufacturers of rehabilitation equipment. While Otto Bock specializes in rehabilitation and health care, with the range being based on wheelchairs, prostheses, splints and orthoses, Rehband takes a different approach.
