ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an orthosis consisting of a sleeve (1) of soft, elastic material, secured on each side of the joint. The orthosis comprises two detachably secured lateral stabilizing splints (8, 9) each of which consists of two arms (10, 11; 12, 13) connected by a pivot joint (14, 15). A Velcro strip is adhered to each arm (10, 11; 12, 13) and cooperates with a corresponding Velcro strip (16, 17) stitched onto the sleeve (1). In order to avoid material-bunching and the formation of folds on the flexing side of the orthosis, a section (18) without any material is provided in this region.
