Kadam is an indigenously developed Prosthetic Knee. It was launched by Mobility India in partnership with IIT-Madras. It aims to give those with locomotor disability a better quality of life.

It comes with multiple axes of rotation, allowing for a maximum knee flexion of 160 degrees. This makes it easy for users to bend their knees and sit normally or squeeze in to narrow spaces such as in buses.
