Orthotist/prosthetist Mary Free Bed Midland, Michigan, United States
Project Bike Leg was initiated to address the 85-90% of global amputees who lack access to proper prosthetic care due to lack of finances, local professionals, and infrastructure. A functional, adjustable, light weight, and durable below the knee prosthesis was crafted using locally sourced materials, mainly derived from a bicycle. No electricity is needed to create the bike leg, and fabrication videos have been yielded to guide the process to anyone in need abroad via the internet.
