Leg Supports
The term leg support or leg supports is a general term often used to refer to thigh or hamstring supports when requiring stabilization to the upper leg or shin and calf supports when requiring stabilization to the lower leg.
Elasticated Hamstring Support
Thigh/hamstring supports come in a range of sizes and makes of fabric, from the breathable therapy hamstring support from Oppo OP1040 to the more rigid sporting hamstring support LP705CA. A full range of versatile, easy to use elasticated hamstring supports are also available.
An effective shin and calf support should fit the lower limb of the leg from just below the knee to the top of the ankle to ensure that stabilizing support is spread across the entire limb and that even compressions are applied. LP718 is often referred to as the sporting calf support, whereas the Oppo products such as OP1010 are the rehabilitation range of shin and calf support.
