BACKGROUNDThe International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics (ISPO) is a global multidisciplinary non-governmental organization acting as a platform for exchange and communication on all aspects of the science, practice and education associated with the provision of prosthetic and orthotic care, rehabilitation engineering and related areas.

PURPOSE AND FUNCTIONISPO aims to improve the quality of life for persons who may benefit from prosthetic, orthotic, mobility and assistive devices. For this purpose, ISPO promotes the provision of quality services, innovative technology, clinically relevant research, and education in the field of rehabilitation for persons with physical disabilities. ISPO further advises on and advocates for best practices to governments and non-governmental organizations on key issues.

MEMBERSHIP ISPO currently gathers approximately 3,500 members in 100 countries. Members of ISPO are individual professionals, including prosthetists and orthotists, orthopaedic surgeons, physiotherapists, occupational

therapists, shoemakers, technicians, nurses, podiatrists, chiropodists, biomechanical /rehabilitation engineers and paediatricians.

ADVOCACYIn cooperation with the WHO, ISPO undertakes advocacy and awareness raising activities to call for increased access to quality and affordable assistive health technologies for people with disabilities worldwide.

EDUCATIONThrough international collaboration, ISPO has developed and published internationally recognized educational and training guidelines, and provides teaching and training to professionals in the field of prosthetics and orthotics and related areas.

SCIENCEThrough its World Congresses and Consensus Conferences, ISPO promotes research and evidence-based practice, and facilitates innovative and appropriate technology development, thereby contributing to building the most advanced and interdisciplinary knowledge in prosthetics and orthotics science and practice.

Prosthetics and Orthotics International (POI) is the official journal of the International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics (ISPO). POI is a multidisciplinary journal for all professionals who have an interest in the medical, clinical, technical, educational and research aspects of prosthetics, orthotics and rehabilitation engineering, as well as their related topics. The journal welcomes submissions based on reviews, clinical and experimental research reports, clinical and technical notes and case studies. POI publishes ahead of print and in 2013 it moved to 6 issues per year. For further information, please visit http://poi.sagepub.com/

With over 3,700 international prosthetics and orthotics professionals receiving this journal, advertising in this title will give you the opportunity to reach a highly valuable and targeted audience, while associating your products and company name with the most prestigious and active society in the prosthetics and orthotics area.

ISPO WORLD CONGRESS – “ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY FOR ALL”

ISPO – INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR PROSTHETICS AND ORTHOTICSTHE LEADING INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY

Every two years, the P&O sector meets at the World Congress of the International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics. Organised every two years, the congress is a unique interactive forum, where many professionals involved in the care of patients in need of a prosthesis or an orthosis (P&O) come together to learn about the latest scientific and clinical advances, products, innovative technologies, designs and materials in prosthetic and orthotic care.

ISPO World Congresses move from one continent to the next in order to reach a broad range of markets. Special attention is paid to regional needs for learning and specific issues and challenges.

In 2007, the World Congress was held in Vancouver, 2010 in Leipzig, 2013 in Hyderabad and 2015 in Lyon. Participant structure shifts from one venue to the next. The majority of the participants in Vancouver came from North America, in Leipzig from Europe, Hyderabad from Asia and, in Lyon, the host country was very well represented with more than 1,000 French delegates. The figures prove it:

ISPO 16TH WORLD CONGRESS 2017, CAPE TOWN

Why not tap into South Africa, one of the continent‘s leading markets? The ISPO 16th World Congress affords the ideal conditions for the successful presentation of your products and your own further professional development.

Around 3,000 delegates attended the World Congress of the International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics (ISPO) in Lyon in 2015. The delegates used this opportunity to obtain information about the current state of the art from various lectures as well as numerous symposia and poster presentations.

THE ISPO WORLD CONGRESS IS MOVING INTO THE WORLD’S MARKET

CAPE TOWN

Cape Town and the Western Cape are considered among the most beautiful areas in Africa. Characterized by a cultural melting pot of Indonesian, French, Dutch, British and German settlers, the local Khoisan (Bushman & Hottentot) tribes and the Bantu tribes from the north, the pristine coastline with its white sandy beaches, the magnificent countryside with its bountiful rivers, wetlands and dams, and the unique flora kingdom, together with a “Mediterranean-like” climate and friendly community, make it a perfect destination for any visitor.

• Cape Town is the capital of the Western Cape.

• The city’s motto is “Spes Bona”, which is Latin for “good hope”.

• Cape Town is twinned with London, Buenos Aires, Nice, San Francisco and several other international cities.

• The world’s first heart transplant was performed by Dr Christiaan Barnard in Cape Town in 1967.

• Cape Town is sometimes called the “Tavern of the seas”.

WELCOME TO SOUTH AFRICA

MARKET PERSPECTIVES

As the economic motor of the African continent, South Africa boasts the largest market for suppliers in the healthcare industry, by a considerable margin. 90 per cent of the medical equipment used in South Africa is imported. Experts predict average growth in market volume of 4.5 % over the next few years. This means that the forecast for 2016 represents a total market volume of approximately EUR 1.8 billion. Around 50 % of the market is accounted for by privately funded medical care, with 8.7 million people privately insured. These are, however, just 17 % of the total population, so that there is a huge, as yet unmet need in the system. (Source: German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy)

AIR TRAVEL AND CONNECTIVITY

Delegates to Cape Town mostly arrive and depart by air. Cape Town International Airport is located only 20 minutes from the city center. Most airlines have regular direct flights to this global city. South African Airlines (SAA) is one of the world’s most experienced airlines with the best safety records. As a Star Alliance* member, SAA flies to six continents and is one of the leading carriers in Africa. Once on the ground, getting around is relatively simple and convenient with, taxis being the preferred mode of transport for international travellers.

ISPO 16TH WORLD CONGRESS 2017

AN INTERDISCIPLINARY WORLD CONGRESS

The theme of this year’s World Congress will be “Assistive Technology for All”. Ensuring increased access to assistive technology for users worldwide, forms a part of ISPO’s vision to “contribute to a world where all persons have equal opportunity for full participation in society” by working together with international and national government representatives, P&O and rehabilitation professionals and the industry. The congress is a major platform for dialogue and exchange.

The congress theme emphasizes the multidisciplinary nature of congress delegates. Interacting with a diverse group of professionals (from prosthetists-orthotists to physicians to physiotherapists to psychologists to professional engineers) provides opportunities to change practice for the better and to “think outside the box” by interacting with experts from around the world who provide a different professional perspective.
