Parahockey – the sport of the future?

Saphenus Medical Technology is proud to support the sport of parahockey. The Styrian Panther Parahockey Graz is a shining example of inclusion in sport, where it doesn’t matter whether someone is disabled or non-disabled, male or female – everyone is part of the team and sets a strong example for diversity and community.

• Parahockey and inclusion:
  • Parahockey is a Paralympic discipline played according to the rules of standing ice hockey.
  • The players use sledges to get around on the ice and learn and play ice hockey with passion¹²
• Pioneer in competitive sport:
  • The Styrian Panthers are pioneers and show that inclusion is possible in competitive sport.
  • They prove that team spirit and individual strengths are more important than physical differences.
• Sensory feedback and support:
  • This is where the concept of sensory feedback comes into play.
  • This feedback system can help to improve movement control and support players in their game³

The Styrian Panthers are an inspiring example of how sport brings people together, overcomes barriers and makes inclusion a reality.
