Jaipur Foot Case Study

Page history last edited by Jairus Lansang 14 years ago

Jaipur Foot - The Jaipur leg also known as Jaipur Foot is a rubber-based prosthetic leg for people with below-knee amputations, produced under guidance of Dr. P. K . Sethi by Masterji Ram Chander in 1969 for victims of landmine explosions. Designed in, and named for Jaipur, India; the prosthetic leg was designed to be inexpensive, quick to fit and manufacture, and to be water-resistant. The jaipur foot is fitted free of cost by Bhagwan Mahavir Viklang Sahyata Samiti, founded by Devendra Raj Mehta. It costs approximately U.S. $40. Dow India supports Bhagwan Mahavir Viklang Sahayta Samiti with polyurethene which is the new material used in the production of the prostheses. The new material increases the durability and the convenience of the leg. Dow India also supports BMVSS with financial assistance to carry on the work done by the non government organization.

 

I think this is a good way to help support those who have lost a leg. There are those who thought that they are incapacitated because of their current state. Now because of the Jaipur foot a new lease in life is given to them. It grants them new opportunities and beginnings even if not as the same as what they had before. There will always be the warm feeling when you know you have changed the life of someone. With the Jaipur foot you know that you can change the life of not only one but thousands.
