Re:Motion Designs

(For-profit organisation)

Re:Motion Designs is a company that designs high-performance, low-cost prosthetic components for developing world amputees. Its initial product, the JaipurKnee, is a polymer-based polycentric knee joint that can be manufactured for a cost less than USD 20, and has been featured by Time Magazine, CNN, BusinessWeek and Fast Company as a major innovation of 2009. Compared with existing low-cost prosthetic knee joints, the JaipurKnee provides a new class of stability and gait efficiency for above-knee amputees, and is currently in field trials in India with over 700 patients fitted to date. Re:Motion partners with existing low-cost prosthesis providers, such as the Jaipur Foot Organisation BMVSS, to design, engineer & distribute prosthetic components to developing world amputees across the globe.
