Abstract
A sock or similar garment includes a foot part and a leg part, the foot part being designed to overlap the foot of a user and the leg part being designed to overlap at least part of the leg up to below the knee. Optionally, the foot part is closed by a toe part. The sock has, in one or more areas of its surface extension, one or more structural modification elements of at least one layer of the knitting that forms the wall of the stock. Those modification elements may be applied with different techniques, for example, printed with silk-screen, or incorporated or intertwined into or on the structure of the sock's mesh, and are configured to enhance the functionality of the leg and foot according to biomechanical, circulatory and neurological aspects, harmonizing those effects with each other, obtaining therapeutic efficacy and providing prevention and performance enhancement.
