Sports & Recreation

Follow your passions! Whether you want to get back on the golf course, start exercising for health reasons or aim for a place on the Paralympic team, we design and produce specialised prosthetics to get you on your way.

There is a world of options, but here are some sports we’ve helped people with amputations participate in.

Running & jumping

The term “blade runner” has become well known. Advanced prosthetic devices for running usually feature a curved-blade carbon fibre foot. This provides the balance of flexibility and strength needed to withstand high-impact activities like sprinting and jumping. These devices can be modified to suit almost any land sport.

Hiking & climbing

If you’re desperate to get on the hiking trails, talk to us about fitting you with a speciality foot designed for active users who don’t want to be limited to walking on even ground.

Golfing

If you want to get back to the fairways, we can fit you with a specialised club grip prosthetic hand attachment. The coupling in this device duplicates the wrist action needed for a smooth, controlled swing.

Run, jump, hike, fish, cycle, wrestle crocodiles…. our team will help with whatever your sporting ambitions.

Cycling & motorcycling

Specialized prosthetic hand attachments can help bicycle and motorbike riders maintain control. They easily attach to virtually any form of handlebars to enable you to precisely manage and manipulate your ride.

Fishing

For the anglers out there, we can fit a specialty prosthetic device designed to hold almost any rod. These devices use adjustable straps and a ratcheting system and can even simulate the natural torquing sensation of fishing with a wrist.

Weightlifting

A series of prosthetic hand attachments are available to assist with heavy lifting in general and the sport of weightlifting in particular. These devices are small and lightweight but capable of handling the wide range of grip and apparatus diameters encountered in modern exercise equipment

Waterproofing and fin technology get you back in the pool, lake or ocean.

Water sports

If swimming, diving or surfing are your thing, talk to us about the many options from waterproof prosthetic limbs to detachable fins to replace your feet in water.
