Abstract

A patellofemoral brace including a buttress for supporting a wearer's patella is provided. The patellofemoral brace includes an elastic sleeve (12) that is easy to apply to the wearer's leg and easy to remove from the wearer's leg. The sleeve includes distinct bands of material (20, 40, 46) so that end bands are substantially rotationally independent of a central band. The end bands (46) resist translation along and rotation about the wearer's leg. The brace further includes a tensioning strap (14) that lies across the buttress (38) to further support the buttress and the wearer's patella. A portion of the tensioning strap is constructed of a thermoplastic elastomer, so that the strap provides firmer support to the buttress than a fabric strap, but is more comfortable and more evenly supports the buttress than a hard, inelastic strap.
