ABSTRACT:
An orthesis joint comprises a first support plate, a thigh attachment part hingedly connected to the first support plate through a first bearing bush, a lower leg attachment part hingedly connected to the first support plate through a second bearing bush, a connecting member hingedly connected with both attachment parts through a third and fourth bearing bush, respectively, and means for limiting the movement of the joint. It is desired to achieve a simple design for the limit means. To this end one of the attachment parts comes into engagement with the connecting member by a first and a second stop, respectively, and at least one of the stops is adjustable.
