waistline and the front sides of the ankles, back parts 3 for covering the back side of the body between the
waist and the back sides of the ankles, outer side parts 4 each covering a side region between the
greater trochanter and the outer side of the
ankle, back
waist projections 5 each formed integrally with the outer side part 4 and projecting from the upper end of the outer side part 4 over the back side of the
waist, inner side parts 6 each covering a region between the
crotch and the inner side of the
ankle, outer
knee support parts 7 for supporting the outer side of the knee, inner
knee support parts 8 each for supporting the inner side of the knee, and sartorius and adductors support parts 9 each covering the back side of the waist, the sartorius and the adductors, and extending to the upper end of the inner
knee support part. The outer side parts 4, the back waist projections 5, the support parts 7 and 8 are formed of a stretchable material having a high
elastic modulus higher than that of a material forming the rest.
