ABSTRACT:
A stocking knee brace of the type to be used by athletes with knee problems. Such brace comprises a one-piece stocking sheath adapted to cover at least a portion of the foot up to the mid-thigh region. The sheath, in its preferred form, is knitted and characterized by full dimensional stretch. Such sheath is maintained in compression and tension about the wearer's leg by the elastic nature of the knitted stocking and by a foot encircling strap within said sheath. The knee-joint position of such sheath is provided with two vertically elongated openings, one on each side of the knee-joint, and fastening means to provide additional lateral, compressive pressure to such knee-joint.
