LegWorks Mobility Project
90% of amputees do not get access to a prosthetic device in the developing world.
Commercial prosthetic knees can cost as much as $50,000.
LegWorks builds partnerships in developing countries to supply prosthetic knees to people who would typically not have access or funds to buy their own.

Our Mission
Our mission is to help amputees globally walk with confidence. We believe mobility is empowerment, and walking is an essential part of interacting in life, being able to work, and taking care of oneself and one's family. We provide an affordable and high-functioning knee that can be easily set up and used.
Globally, there is a lack of innovative, yet affordable, solutions.
In the developed world, advances in prosthetics are geared towards high end products that are out of reach for many, due to classification as a low-activity amputee and/or lack of coverage by insurance.
For those who are unable to access a waterproof microprocessor knee, there is a demand for better, more functional devices at lower price points.
In the developing world, 1 out of 10 have access. Without a functional prosthesis, amputees are stripped of their ability to walk, restricting their independence, employment potential, and productive participation in the community.
What are we doing?
LegWorks works to build partnerships in developing countries to supply a subsidized prosthetic knee to people who would typically not have access or funds to buy their own.
