ABSTRACT:
A joint orthosis with a first joint part (4), a first splint (5) connected to the first joint part (4), a second joint part (1), a second splint (2) connected to the second joint part (1), and a pivot hinge part (3) for articulated connection of the second splint (2) and of the first splint (5), said splints (2, 5) extending into the pivot hinge part (3) from opposite directions and laterally offset relative to one another, being arranged with their ends next to one another in the pivot hinge part (3), and being able to pivot to a small extent relative to one another, can be configured with a lower overall height by virtue of the fact that the pivot hinge part (3) has two chambers (8, 10) which are arranged substantially parallel and are laterally offset relative to one another and which are open in opposite directions, and into which the ends of the splints (2, 5) extend, and by virtue of the fact that the second splint (2) is mounted in the end area of its chamber (10) so as to be able to pivot about a pivot axis (D) in such a way that the pivoting movement of the second splint (2) relative to the pivot hinge part (3) is limited by the chamber (10).
