Knee Joint Supporter

摘要

A knee joint supporter which can improve the stability of the knee joint, reduce the wearer's fatigue and reduce the load on the patellar tendon includes a first anchor section formed by wrapping one end of a tubular knitted fabric around the wearer's thigh to tighten it with the fabric, a second anchor section formed by wrapping the other end of the fabric around the wearer's lower thigh to tighten it with the fabric, and a substantially U-shaped knitted supporting section joined to the first anchor section, covering the wearer's patella region and thus supporting the wearer's patella. In the circumferential direction of the fabric, the stretch resistance of the two anchor parts are larger than the stretch resistance of a base fabric section. In the length width direction of the fabric, the stretch resistance of the supporting section is larger than the stretch resistance of the base fabric section.

主权项

1. A knee joint supporter which is made of a tubular knitted fabric that is knitted in circular knitting, and comes into close contact with the body surface of a wearer, thereby assisting a knee joint, the knee joint supporter comprising:
a first anchor section which is knitted to go around one end of the tubular knitted fabric and makes the tubular knitted fabric be tightened on the thigh of the wearer; a second anchor section which is knitted to go around the other end of the tubular knitted fabric and makes the tubular knitted fabric be tightened on the lower thigh of the wearer; and a supporting section which is knitted in an approximate U-shape that is connected to the first anchor section and surrounds a section corresponding to the patella of the wearer, and supports the patella of the wearer, wherein the stretch resistances of the first anchor section and the second anchor section in a circumferential direction of the tubular knitted fabric are larger than the stretch resistance of a base fabric section in the circumferential direction of the tubular knitted fabric, and the stretch resistance of the supporting section in a length direction of the tubular knitted fabric is larger than the stretch resistance of the base fabric section in the length direction of the tubular knitted fabric.
