The Jaipur foot

Abstract: The Jaipur foot was developed for barefoot amputees by Professor P. K. Sethi. He used local artisans and readily available materials. The prosthesis was cheap and could be made in one hour. It enabled amputees to work in rural conditions, muddy and wet fields and to climb trees. It has been widely used in India, South East Asia and Africa, where local variations to the design have now been made.

“…Powered knees use advanced sensor technology including accelerometers and load sensors to provide actuation, enabling a better ability to perform most activities of daily living. Prices for prostheses can vary from the $45 Jaipur Foot, provided free of charge to beneficiaries [4] to the Power knee which can cost more than $100,000 [5]. Choosing a prosthesis that is well matched to a patient’s needs and capabilities allows more advanced devices to be allocated to the individuals that can most benefit.…”

“…There were 89 articles containing information about the design of 59 different LL prostheses or prosthetic components, including feet. Commonly mentioned were a polycentric knee designed in collaboration between Stanford and Jaipur, [23][24][25] polypropylene components from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), [26][27][28] a prosthetic knee designed by LeTourneau Engineering Global Solutions (LEGS), [29][30][31][32][33][34] the Shape&Roll foot, [35][36][37][38] the monolimb, [39][40][41][42][43][44] the Jaipur foot, [45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53] and the Niagara Foot. [54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62] There were 19 articles that included information about the design of 11 distinct methods related to prosthetics service provision such as the transtibial alignment system, 39,40,[63][64][65]…”
