Jaipur leg

The Jaipur leg is a rubber-based prosthetic leg produced by Dr. P. K . Sethi and 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 main drawback to this design is that it is only suitable for below the knee amputees.
