The goal of the JaipurKnee Project was to create a prosthetic leg that was amazingly sturdy as well as amazingly cheap. That’s no easy task. Otherwise it would have been done by now. Somehow they did it and created the leg you see in the above pic. It only costs $20.
Expensive and high-tech prosthetic limbs are nothing new. But what about the majority of the world who can not afford them? Legs like the one above may not make you the bionic man, but they will let you function and walk. For cheap. Pretty awesome.

You dont just open your mouths and write about things like this if you dont have enough info about them. do you know how many people would be desperately expectant? Why cant you just link me to the website where i can get info on the 20 dollar prosthesis, i need it desperately. it is callously wicked and diabolical for you not to reply this, only because it is not a big business deal. Just say something for christ sake
I NEED TO KNOW WHERE I CAN GET THIS THING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. IS IT AVAILABLE FOR SALE AT THIS TIME?
Not impressive at all when you see that Letourneau University made almost the exacty same leg 5 years ago. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,578994,00.html?test=faces
