Jaipur Artificial Limbs calipers, tricycles & crutches to physically

The idea of the world famous Jaipur foot was first mooted by Sri Ramachandra
Sharma of Jaipur who designed and developed the Limb with the help
of orthopedic expert like Dr.P.K Sethi of Jaipur. These limbs are
very light and durable. They are cosmetically and functionally close
to human limb permitting normal sitting, squatting, walking,
running,
climbing, swimming and are made to the required measurements. After fitment
the person can walk, run, sit, swim, climb etc. Like a normal person
without any support.
