1. An article wearable by a subject, comprising:

  • a) a base layer having an interior surface and an exterior surface, wherein the interior surface has a first coefficient of friction (μ

    1) relative to a body surface of the subject, and wherein the base layer has a first modulus of elasticity (E1);

    b) at least one gripping element coupled to the interior surface of the base layer, wherein the at least one gripping element is configured to contact a body of the subject, and wherein the at least one gripping element has a second coefficient of friction (μ

    2) relative to the body surface, wherein μ

    2 is greater than μ

    1;

    c) at least one compression element coupled to the base layer, wherein the at least one compression element has a second modulus of elasticity (E2) that is greater than E1; and

    d) at least one support element comprising a non-Newtonian material coupled to the base layer.
