From disabled
To Re-abled
Bibian Mentel went from abled to disabled and became Re-abled with the right tools, mindset and guidance. The method and expertise of instrument maker Frank Jol, along with Bibian's positive mindset and strong mentality, is the foundation for the Re-abled program.
Within the Re-abled program, we look at the individual and make dreams become reality prosthetic and orthotic users.
