Lilly (12), who lives with cerebral palsy, discovered new freedom through her customised momo tricycle🚲.
What started as support for mobility has become a key part of her everyday life—helping her build strength, improve coordination, and gain independence. Whether riding short distances on her own or joining longer trips with family, cycling empowers her to stay active and included.🙂🩵
A great milestone for Schuchmann: we are now certified to DIN EN ISO 14001:2015. 🌍
For us, sustainability is not a passing trend, but a firm part of our corporate philosophy. Whether through solar energy☀️, energy-efficient production, sustainable product development or responsible supplier selection, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact every day.🍃
We are proud of this achievement and motivated to continue on this path – for a more sustainable future.💚
Purple Day is an international grassroots effort dedicated to increasing awareness about epilepsy worldwide. On March 26th 📅annually, people in countries around the world are invited to wear purple and host events in support of epilepsy awareness.
There are approximately 50 million people around the world living with epilepsy making it one of the most common neurological diseases globally.
The risk of premature death in people with epilepsy is up to three times higher than for the general population.
In many parts of the world, people with epilepsy and their families suffer from stigma and discrimination.
☑️It’s estimated that 1 in 100 people have epilepsy
☑️Epilepsy is NOT contagious.
☑️Epilepsy is NOT a psychological disorder.
☑️There is currently no “cure” for epilepsy.
📅Every year on 21.03 is World Down Syndrome Day. The date is symbolic of trisomy 21: the triple presence of the 21st chromosome. 🧬
The theme is what we are asking supporters to talk about on and around World Down Syndrome Day. This year we are calling on everyone around the world to stand „Together Against Loneliness“.
The answer is real inclusion!
It’s about having good friendships and relationships. It’s the feeling of being valued and knowing you belong.🩵
This is a problem we can solve, and ‘Together Against Loneliness’ is our call to action.
We want to talk about the problem of loneliness and how we help people feel connected and that they belong.

With our assistive devices, we actively contribute to greater inclusion and less loneliness.

We wish all tricycle riders a wonderful and safe ride! 🚵♂️🦺

🚨Exciting upgrades and highlights for our maxi work and therapy chair! 🚨
➡️ We now offer maxi in size 1b, with an optional tool-free adjustment feature. 👐
➡️ 100 mm castors and a front directional lock are now included in the base model, improving maneuverability. 💡
➡️ A friendly soft grey upholstery option is now available for maxi. 🩶
➡️ We’ve expanded our upholstery range to include armrest pads for the angle-adjustable armrests and for the footplate. 🦾🦶
➡️ The thigh guide is now removable. 🔝
maxi is the ideal daily companion for schoolwork or reading time, ensuring that teenagers (and adults, too) sit in an optimal position. With its understated look, maxi blends seamlessly into the home environment. Thanks to its central column and extended wheelbase, the aid can handle high loads and guarantees excellent stability.

Rare Disease Day on 28 February raises awareness for people affected by rare diseases. 🎇
Ida has Angelman syndrome, a rare genetic neurological disorder with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 20,000 live births. We took Rare Disease Day as an opportunity to talk to her mum Stefanie and gained some moving insights.
Stefanie tells us how she found out that Ida has a rare disease. She also shares what advice she would give to families who have gone through similar experiences:
Finding the right supportive seating is a team effort. 🩵 From the first concerns to assessment, trial, funding and final set-up—parents, therapists and product specialists work together so your child can sit comfortably, safely, and take part in everyday life.
What matters most to you when choosing seating support? 💬

Curtain up for the Blue for Angels campaign. 🩵👼
This campaign, initiated by parents of affected children, aims to raise awareness of Angelman syndrome and to collect donations for research. Medical developments related to Angelman syndrome are currently making noticeable progress and offer well-founded hope for future treatment options.
The condition is largely unknown to the general public, and affected families often experience misunderstanding or a lack of support. Greater visibility is therefore crucial—for affected children, their families, and public awareness of this rare condition.
💡Angelman syndrome is a rare genetic disorder associated, among other things, with severe intellectual and motor impairments, lack of speech, and often epilepsy.
We’re happy to help make Angelman syndrome a little more visible today by sharing a Schuchmann-blue post. In line with this, we received these wonderful photos from families whose children live with the syndrome and use our assistive devices.
