PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide hosiery or a cylindrical lower limb supporter, which makes higher compressive pressure applied to a wearers ankle than to other regions when he/she wears it, and which can reduce a force required when he/she wears it.SOLUTION: Hosiery or a cylindrical lower limb supporter is knitted so that a compressive pressure distribution making compressive pressure sequentially lower toward a wearers calf from his/her ankle can act on his/her ankle and calf, when he/she wears the hosiery or the cylindrical lower limb supporter. In the hosiery or the cylindrical lower limb supporter, an area for covering his/her ankle part between the front of a leg part and the front of a foot part is knitted with larger stitches than other areas.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】装着時に足首に他の部分より高い圧迫圧がかかる靴下または筒状の下肢用サポーターであって、履く際の力を低減できる靴下または筒状の下肢用サポーターを提供する。【解決手段】装着時に、足首およびふくらはぎに、足首からふくらはぎへと順次圧迫圧が小となる圧迫圧分布が作用するように編成される靴下または筒状の下肢用サポーターであって、レッグ部正面とフート部正面との間の足首部を被覆する領域が、他の領域より大きな編目で編成される、靴下または筒状の下肢用サポーター。【選択図】図1A
