Abstract
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatus for garments that restrict detrimental or abnormal movement of the upper and lower body. This is made possible by forming garments from an elastic base layer and then coupling one or more elastic and/or inelastic bands coupled to, secured to, or atop the base material in locations that restrict detrimental movement of the body. A load distribution ring can anchor some of the bands.
