  "As an Orthopedist, I was quite impressed with their fabrication of lower extremity prosthesis, particularly the Jaipur Foot which serves the Indian population quite well, as many people go bare foot and have an actual foot that is  made of  rubberized material  and is quite functional. This below the knee  prosthesis costs less than $ 30, as compared to one which I am sure would  cost $ 2,500 in United States."
