Patent attributes
A knee brace includes an elastic material having: a first portion with first and second ends fixedly secured together forming a sleeve to encircle a leg below the knee, applying compression thereto, and second portion with first and second ends spaced apart forming first and second flaps that wrap around the wearer's leg above the knee, with the first flap overlapping onto and releasably securing to the second flap using hook and loop materials, to apply compression thereto. A secondary flap is fixedly secured to the upper portion, with its free end releasably secured to the second flap using hook or loop materials, to apply compression thereto. The first flap is angled upwardly and the secondary flap is angled downwardly for respective securement to the second flap. These redundant securements at the divergent angles better maintains the brace at the proper positioning on the wearer's leg.
