My Products
As part of my sponsorship programme I am fortunate to wear the latest innovations from Össur.
Daily Prostheses
RHEO KNEE®
The world's first microprocessor swing and stance knee system to utilise the power of artificial intelligence. Capable of independent thought, it learns how the user walks, recognising and responding immediately to changes in speed, load and terrain.
Richard says:
"With a knee disarticulation, I wear the threaded-top version, which allows more room for my socket. These knees are incredibly clever and fast responding to changes in my walking speed. Thanks to Bionic Technology I now walk with greater confidence and less effort.”

From heel strike to toe-off, no other prosthetic foot simulates a more fluid or graceful walking motion. Emulating many of the anatomical features of the human foot, the Talux has been specially designed to provide fluid, natural walking motion in a variety of terrains, for amputees of low to moderate activity. Multi-axial compliance of the foot provides improved ground contact during ambulation on uneven surfaces.
Richard says:
“The Talux feet feel natural, flexible, but responsive at the same time. They allow me to go about my daily business without feeling too tired”
Sporting Prostheses
Flex-Run™
The Flex-Run is a carbon fibre foot specifically designed for running. Extensive computer analysis and mechanical testing ensures that the deflection of the forefoot from mid-stance to toe-off is proportional to the user's weight and impact level. The larger radius of the foot module is more suited to the longer distance runner where endurance rather than outright speed is the priority.
Richard says:
“It's light-weight and offers me excellent energy return, without which I couldn’t run the distances I do. It’s simply an essential tool that enables me to compete.”
