The Jaipur foot is made of rubber and wood and is probably the lowest cost prosthetic limb available in the world. The
International Red Cross Committee has used it extensively in Afghanistan and other places to help amputees. Several injured soldiers in the
Kargil war were benefited due to the Jaipur foot. Sethi was recognized by the
Guinness Book of World Records for helping a large number of amputees in obtaining mobility again. The Indian dancer and actor
Sudha Chandran was one of his patients.
Ram Chandra Sharma, an illiterate craftsman, is the co-inventor of the foot. The original idea of the Jaipur foot is supposed to have come to him serendipitously while he was riding a bicycle and had a flat tire. == Awards ==
