Abstract

The present invention is directed at a series of leg garments that provide support for reducing loads at the knee, hip, ankle, and spine, as well as options for leg shape contouring, muscle training, pain reduction, and injury treatment. The leg garments may comprise a base layer with reinforced portions disposed throughout. The leg garments may comprise adjustable support elements. The size, shape, position, quantity, and material composition of the reinforced portions and the adjustable support elements may be selected to achieve the desired tensive properties for the leg garment. Various tensioning mechanisms may be positioned at strategic areas to further control the leg garments' tensive properties, improving effectiveness and comfort. In some embodiments, cables may run through channels in the reinforced portions or support elements.
