Grand Challenges Canada recently interviewed LegWorks Co-Founder Jan Andrysek about the All-Terrain Knee.
The World Health Organization estimates that only 5 to 15% of all lower-limb amputees in the developing world have access to appropriate prosthetic services and technologies — a large unmet need. Backed with a blend of private and Government of Canada investments catalyzed by Grand Challenges Canada, Toronto-based company LegWorks will contribute to a better life for amputees in developing countries. LegWorks will mass produce its innovative, affordable prosthetic knee, the All-Terrain Knee, the functionality and durability of which makes it ideal for amputees living in the developing world.
