ABSTRACT:
An orthotic garment (1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) has adhesion bases (2) on injury-protective portions of the orthotic garment, injury-protective strips of material (3) attached selectively to the adhesion bases, and a body-protective wrapper such as webbing (4), an injury-covering strap (13) or tape (11) that is fastened selectively to an outside periphery of the garment on an injured portion of a person's body. A method includes determining advantageous support for an injury on a person; providing a garment that fits onto an injured portion of the person and has adhesion bases on injury-protective portions of the orthotic garment; attaching injury-protective strips of material to the adhesion bases; positioning the orthotic garment on the injured portion of the person and wrapping an outside periphery of the orthotic garment selectively to protect the injury.
