Abstract:
An elbow joint supporter includes a first anchor section formed by wrapping one end of a tubular knitted fabric around the wearer's upper arm, a second anchor section formed by wrapping the other end of the fabric around the wearer's forearm, and a substantially X-shaped knitted supporting section intersecting at the wearer's cubital fossa. Two ends of the X-shaped knitted fabric are joined to the first anchor section and the other two ends of the X-shaped knitted fabric are joined to the second anchor section so as to support the wearer's elbow joint. In the circumferential direction of the fabric, the stretch resistances of the first anchor part and the second anchor part are larger than that of a base fabric section. In the length direction of the fabric, the stretch resistance of the supporting section is larger than that of the base fabric section.
