Prosthetic limb adapts to match your mood

[Still Waters]

A student has designed an artificial limb with a changeable cover to reflect the wearer's mood, inspired by a friend who lost a leg.

Nottingham Trent University undergraduate Jonathan Bradshaw wanted to provide amputees with an affordable way of reflecting their sense of style.

It followed research in which he found appearance to be as important as comfort among younger people.

School friend and amputee Amy Bosley described it as "a stroke of genius".
