7 oct. 2009 - The JaipurKnee prosthetic

Description:

Amputees can thank Jamaican Joel Sadler and his teammates at Stanford University for creating the JaipurKnee, one of the most affordable prosthetic knees available to the public. Sadler, along with his Americans Eric Thorsell, Ayor Roberts and Angelo Szychowski, created the low cost artificial knee in 2009 as part of their Master degree program at Stanford University. With a cost of just US$20 (compared to an average cost of US$10,000) and a minimum three years of normal use, the JaipurKnee was named one of the 50 best inventions of 2009 by TIME Magazine.
