ABSTRACT:
A tapered elastic back support is situated in a fabric tube formed at the top edge of a variety of shorts and pants suitable for use during athletics, exercise or rehabilitative therapy. Unlike traditional back braces, the portion of the back support encircling the front of the wearer's abdomen is tapered to pass well beneath the wearer's navel, permitting low cut garment designs that expose significant portions of the wearer's abdomen. The rear portion of the back support increases in height to cover at least the lower three vertebrae (L5–L3). The front portion of the back support allows the wearer to tighten the appliance such that a continuous elastic stabilizing pressure is exerted across the lower back. Branched drawstring portions or tapered belt portions are secured to the elastic back support material and extend through the fabric tube at the front of the garment.
