Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide sportswear usable even during practice or games, having no problem of difficulty in attachment, relating to a garment, in particular, correcting the posture of the upper half body of a wearer, and particularly used when playing golf. SOLUTION: The sportswear is a stretchable garment having a face part, a back part, right and left shoulder parts, right and left sleeve parts, and a collar part, wherein an elastic string is attached to the upper part of the back part of the garment in a crossing fashion.

Abstract: An orthotic support comprises a shoulder section for encapsulating a first shoulder of a wearer, a glove section for conforming to at least a portion of the wearer's hand, and a sleeve section for conforming to the wearer's arm, the sleeve section connecting the shoulder section to the glove section. A resilient reinforcement extends from the glove section to the shoulder section, and at least a portion of the reinforcement extends in a spiral around the sleeve section, so that the reinforcement is configured to apply a rotational force to the wearer's arm, when worn, to urge a portion of the wearer's arm to rotate in a predetermined direction. The orthotic support may be usable to treat or prevent shoulder dislocation or subluxation, arm over-pronation or over-supination, wrist flexion or elbow flexion.

Abstract: An orthotic sock for treatment of an orthopedic condition is formed from a resilient material and has means for restricting movement of a wearer's foot in one or more predetermined directions and/or means for assisting movement of a wearer's foot in one or more predetermined directions. An opening is defined through a posterior leg portion of the sock.

Abstract: An orthotic device includes a resilient portion configured to apply a force in one or more predetermined directions to assist or restrict movement of a part of a wearer's body, and a rigid portion configured to restrict movement of the body part. The rigid portion is removably-couplable to the resilient portion so that it can be removed from, and coupled to, the resilient portion while the device is being worn.

Abstract: A compression garment, for example a pair of compression shorts (10, 210, 310), has a trunk section (20), a left leg section (30) and a right leg section (40) constructed from a resilient material. The trunk section (20) is reinforced such that a wearer's pelvic region is subjected to a first compressive force acting diagonally across a front portion of the trunk section from left to right and a second compressive force acting diagonally from right to left. The range of motion at the wearer's hips is preferably not restricted by the reinforcement.

Abstract: An orthotic device comprises a first, resilient, portion configured to apply a force in one or more predetermined directions to assist or restrict movement of at least one part or a wearer's body, and a second, rigid, portion configured to restrict movement of at least one part of the wearer's body. The second portion is removably-couplable to the first portion such that it can be removed from, and coupled to, the first portion while the device is being worn.
