Specialties and Services

Gait Training School

Axis's gait-training school includes more than 70 square meters of 4-by-4-meter terrain designed to recreate real walking conditions, rather than the flat surface typically found in testing rooms. Treatment is carried out in collaboration with the company's technicians.

Sports Prostheses and Athletes

The company has developed prostheses for elite athletes, including Spanish track champion Raquel Acinas, Paralympic cycling champion Roberto Alcaide, and snowboarder Urko Egea. In some cases, users take part in designing their own prostheses. For Roberto Alcaide, for example, Axis made a prosthesis featuring an ultralight carbon-fiber socket and an Össur LP Variflex foot.
