ABSTRACT:
An orthotic device for a joint of the human body includes an elongated element having an elastic portion, and structure for mounting the element on the body in a mimicking relationship with one of the muscles and the associated tendons collectively extending across the joint. The structure is operable to secure the element to the body in such a manner that the element extends across the joint and is retained in the vicinity of the joint against substantially all movement other than linear extension and retraction.
