The ligament is removably attachable to a garment by strips of hook and loop fastener attached along or the end regions of the ligament. When worn about a part of the body, the appliance permits limited relative movement between the plates thus providing impact resistance whilst maximizing flexural movement of the body part to which the appliances is attached. The plates may be stitched to or threaded upon the ligament which may itself comprise a strip of hook and loop fastener. |
