Claims20
A patellofemoral support, comprising:
- a sleeve defining at least two discrete regions having different properties elastic properties relative to one another;
- a buttress connected to the sleeve;
- a strap system including a helical strap and a circumferential strap, the helical strap is arranged to extend from a first side of one of a lateral or medial side of the sleeve and to pass over an anterior side of the sleeve to secure to a second side of a lateral or medial side opposite the first side, the circumferential strap extending between at least the first and second sides of the sleeve, and securing to at least one of the first and second sides;
- wherein at least a portion of the strap system is arranged to extend over the buttress and is arranged to exert forces upon the buttress from the first side of the sleeve to the second side of the sleeve generally between medial-to-lateral or lateral-to-medial directions.
