Zusammenfassung:A therapeutic stocking comprising, a circumferentially elastic boot portion having an upper thigh panel for exerting a desired compressive pressure against the upper thigh of a wearer's leg. The upper thigh panel has a limited vertical stretch relative a hip panel for accurate placement of the upper thigh panel on the wearer's upper thigh. The stocking has waist support means, and the hip panel extends between the support means and the upper thigh panel along the side of the wearer's hip. The hip panel is vertically stretchable between the support means and the upper thigh panel to permit placement of the support means on the wearer's waist a variable distance from the upper thigh while the upper thigh panel remains at its proper position on the wearer's upper thigh.
