Viklang Sahayata Samiti (BMVSS) is the world's largest
organisation rehabilitating over 1.78 million disabled. BMVSS provides all its
assistance, including artificial limbs, calipers and other aids and
appliances totally free of
charge.
The Stanford-Jaipur Knee is a new
invention designed by the Stanford University, USA, working with the BMVSS
team. The Stanford-Jaipur Knee has been hailed by Time magazine (issue of
November 23, 2009) as one of the 50 Best Inventions of the World in the year
2009. The Stanford-Jaipur Knee, also known as the Jaipur Knee, mimics normal
human gait by providing stability in stance and easy movement.
Currently, the artificial hand has been
undertaken from suppliers who make joints meeting the Indian Standards
Institutions (ISI) mark. It is called the Jaipur Hand. BMVSS mainly fabricates
the sockets.
Now, a major research project on below-elbow
artificial hand is underway in Stanford University in collaboration with BMVSS.
The model is likely to be functionally more efficient and inexpensive.
