V. Hari was riding his two-wheeler when a car’s tyre burst and threw him off the vehicle. He survived the fall but with a damaged left leg. His leg had to be amputated from above the knee. He was given a Jaipur foot free of cost. “It was difficult and I couldn’t walk as it made my leg sore. Once on a bus, a co-passenger saw me struggling to sit and suggested I visit Mobility India for a better option,” Mr. Hari said.
At Mobility India he was fitted with a prosthetic limb. A father of two, Mr. Hari said: “I am very satisfied. I drive an autorickshaw now. There is a lot of difference between the Jaipur foot and what I am using now,” he said.
N. Ramprakash was working in a company in Hosur. In 1999, while he was travelling to work on his two-wheeler, he was hit by a bus and in the accident he lost his right leg. Initially, he was given a wooden prosthesis that was heavy and unwieldy. But then he got Mobility India’s prosthetic limb. “It is very good. I drive a four-wheeler now,” said the Telugu-speaking man.
