1. A garment configured to counteract frontal pelvic plane drop and internal rotation of the femur, the garment comprising:
a base layer having a right leg portion and a left leg portion, the base layer having a first elasticity; a load distribution ring arranged proximate to a front waist portion of the garment and having a second elasticity that is less than the first elasticity; a first lateral elastic band extending from the load distribution ring back toward a rear of the garment in a direction substantially parallel to a top of the garment and secured over the base layer, the first lateral elastic band having a third elasticity, the first lateral elastic band having a first lateral edge; a second lateral elastic band extending from the load distribution ring back toward the rear of the garment in a direction substantially parallel to the top of the garment and is secured over the base layer, the second lateral elastic band having the third elasticity, the second lateral elastic band having a second lateral edge; a first diagonal elastic band coupled to and extending at an angle down and away from the load distribution ring on the right leg portion; a second diagonal elastic band coupled to and extending at an angle down and away from the load distribution ring on the left leg portion; and a first inelastic band, designed to be positioned on at least a rear portion of the garment and having opposite first and second edges, extending between the first lateral edge of the first lateral elastic band and the second lateral edge of the second lateral elastic band via a rear of the garment and having a concave lower edge, the first inelastic band replicating forces otherwise generated by a gluteus medius muscle, and intersecting a bottom portion of each of the leg portions proximate to the front of the garment, the first inelastic band having the second elasticity, the first inelastic band further includes a first extending portion designed to extend from the rear portion of the garment to a front half of the garment on the right leg portion intersecting the first diagonal elastic band, the first inelastic band further includes a second extending portion designed to extend from the rear portion of the garment to the front half of the garment on the left leg portion intersecting the second diagonal elastic band. |
