Abstract:
Dr. Pramod Karan Sethi was a surgery lecturer who created the Orthopaedic Department and Rehabilitation Unit at the Sawai Man Singh Medical College and Hospital, Jaipur. He paired with a local craftsman, Pandit Ram Chandra Sharma, to create the well-known "Jaipur Foot". This affordable and durable prosthetic foot is aimed to meet the needs of amputees in both developing and developed countries. It allowed users to sit cross-legged, squat, and walk on rough ground. The invention of the Jaipur Foot also had a big impact on Sudha Chandran, an Indian actress and Bharatanatyam dancer's life. This feature was absent in the inflexible Western prosthetics available at that time. This biography explores Dr. Sethis's education and career path. It also looks into the challenges he faced while developing the Jaipur Foot. It also discusses his contribution to polio victim rehabilitation and his influence on amputee care worldwide.
