All the world’s a stage by Nicola Cairns (Design Manufacture and Engineering Management)

All the World’s a Stage by Nicola Cairns (Design Manufacture and Engineering Management)
We all care about what we look like. How would you feel about yourself if you had a limb amputated?
Some amputees have concerns about body image that lead to anxiety and depression. The University of Strathclyde and Blatchford are developing covers for artificial limbs that are lifelike, lightweight and low cost. These will help amputees adjust their body image to feel positive about how they look, and therefore ready to take on the world!
