The Orthopaedic Sleeve is engineered around a single under-recognised muscle: the soleus. The deep calf muscle that does the majority of the work during walking and slow running — and the one most rehabilitation programmes systematically underload by emphasising the gastrocnemius.
The brace you can rotate above produces a measurable 20.4% reduction in soleus activation during late-stance walking (UQ Final Report, June 2025, individual peak). That is the headline finding. The other four UQ-measured changes — calf EMG, Achilles tendon force, heel contact time, ankle angle — all flow from the same posterior-chain offload mechanism.
Switch to the Exploded View to see how the construction delivers that offload. Every component exists because the UQ study measured the change it produces.
