Sean Kean: knee support innovator
A REVOLUTIONARY knee sleeve designed by a university engineering student could slash the incidence of painful, career-ending anterior cruciate ligament (or ACL) injuries, he claims.
Sean Kean, a post-graduate researcher in product design engineering at Nottingham Trent University, says his prototype sleeve (pictured) – made from elastomer and nylon – is designed to apply pressure to the knee, aiding blood flow and helping to prevent the knee injuries before they occur.
