ABSTRACT:
A back support orthosis garment particularly applicable for vigorous athletic activities is disclosed. A lumbosacral support designed to partially immobilize all or a portion of the lumbar vertebrae, is maintained in a predetermined aligned position relative to the wearer's spine by means of a compression-type short/pant that also provides graduated compressive support to the thigh and groin area muscles of the wearer. The compression-type short and lumbosacral support structures are integrally designed in a single garment that is comfortably worn and which maintains the aligned position of the lumbosacral support relative to the spine, regardless of the degree of movement of the wearer.
