Abstract: An orthotic ankle garment is integrally knit of a body yarn, and comprises at least one compression zone incorporating elastic yarns integrated with the body yarn. A lateral fabric brace strap is integrally formed with the body yarn within the compression zone, and is adapted to extend vertically on an outside of the lower leg between the open leg end of the garment and a termination point proximate a lateral malleolus of the ankle. A medial fabric brace strap is integrally formed with the body yarn within the compression zone, and is adapted to extend vertically on an inside of the lower leg between the open leg end of the garment and a termination point proximate a medial malleolus of the ankle. The lateral and medial brace straps define vertically-disposed areas of reduced fabric stretch relative to directly adjacent areas of the compression zone.

Abstract: An orthotic ankle garment has an open leg end and a toe end, and includes at least one circumferential compression zone located between the open leg and toe ends of the garment. The compression zone has elastic yarns integrated with the body yarn, and is adapted for applying substantially circumferential compression to the lower leg of the wearer. At least one low-stretch horizontal resistance band extends axially across the compression zone from a heel end of the resistance band to a toe end of the resistance band. The resistance band is adapted to reside substantially adjacent one side of the wearer's foot, and defines an area of reduced fabric stretch relative to directly adjacent areas of the ankle garment.

Abstract: A compression foot garment is integrally knit of a body yarn, and adapted for wear on a foot of a user. The foot garment incorporates first and second high compression zones, and a compression release zone between the high compression zones. The first high compression zone is adapted for applying substantially circumferential compression to the foot below the plantar fascia between the calcaneus and metatarso-phalangeal joints and generally around the midfoot. The second high compression zone is adapted for applying substantially circumferential compression to the foot above the calcaneus and generally around an ankle of the user. The first and second high compression zones may comprise elastic yarns integrated with the body yarn. The compression release zone is adapted for applying reduced compression to the foot in an area between the first and second high compression zones.
