ABSTRACT:
An orthosis for correcting the position of a body joint, the orthosis extending over the two members connected by the body joint and being provided with two arms forming the orthosis, the arms each being held on the respective member by a cuff and being interconnected by a pivot joint adjacent to the body joint is described. For the bending required during normal movement, the pivot joint is formed by an axle ring embraced by the one arm, and the axle ring being fixedly connected to a ring bearing eccentric with respect to the axle ring to form a central adjusting ring. The ring bearing forms a pivot bearing for the other arm and the pivot bearing being embraced by said other arm, such that the rotation plane of said ring bearing with respect to the rotation plane of the axle ring is pivotable through rotation of the adjusting ring.
