A knee supporter, including a tubular supporter main body including: a knee anterior surface part; a knee posterior surface part; a femoral side anterior surface part; a femoral side posterior surface part; a tibial side anterior surface part; and a tibial side posterior surface part, wherein elastic moduli, in an axial direction of the tubular supporter main body, when stretched by 80% in the axial direction of the tubular supporter main body, satisfy the following Formula (1) to (3): Formula (1): 0.7&#x2264;knee posterior surface part/knee anterior surface part; Formula (2): 1&#x3c;femoral side anterior surface part/femoral side posterior surface part; and Formula (3): 1&#x3c;tibial side anterior surface part/tibial side posterior surface part.

Knee supporter and garment

A garment, containing a tubular joint supporter section, the section including: a central region in an axial direction of the tubular joint supporter section, which includes a wear pressure applying region for applying wear pressure to a joint site of a body, a one-end side region positioned at one end, and an other-end side region positioned at another end side, in which the wear pressure of the wear pressure applying region is higher than an average wear pressure of the one-end and other-end side regions, and regions other than the wear pressure applying region in the section include a concave-convex structure region formed from a concave-convex structure; and a knee supporter, in which an average wear pressure A of the knee support section is higher than an average wear pressure B of the thigh side support section and the shin side support section.
