Patients or everyday athletes? Let's talk about people with amputations

It&#8217;s a basic question that has shaped the pillars of our mission and one that challenges the whole idea of what it means to live with an amputation &#8211; and what it means to build sports prosthetics.
The way you view amputees changes your approach to sports prosthetics. We view our customers as individuals that know how to assemble simple stuff &#8211; whether they&#8217;re working on IKEA furniture or their sports equipment &#8211; which happens to be a running blade.

It&#8217;s not a mission we&#8217;ve grasped out of thin air. Our founder, Lasse Madsen, is an amputee himself. He found himself in a position where he not only had to pay a solid amount for a sports prosthesis, but also felt it was pushed in a way that it seemed near impossible to set up on his own.
Everyday athletes want the freedom to play. They want the freedom to wake up and go out. Patients, however, are in need of care and constant guidance. We think that people with amputations start as patients, but eventually turn into everyday athletes &#8211; and the industry should treat them as such.
