An orthotic or prosthetic sleeve (10) includes at least two elasticized fabric elements (10, 12, 14) having different elastic stiffnesses in orthogonal directions connected together to form a tubular sleeve such that the direction of higher stiffness of one fabric element extends axially (26) along the sleeve axis and the direction of higher stiffness of the other element extends generally transversely (30) of the sleeve axis. A three piece tubular sleeve may be arranged so that the middle section (12) has a direction of higher stiffness extending transversely of the sleeve axis, with the end sections having the higher stiffness direction (26, 28) extending along the sleeve axis.
L'invention se rapporte à un manchon prothétique ou orthétique (10) comportant au moins deux éléments en tissu élastique (10, 12, 14) possédant des caractéristiques d'élasticité différentes suivant des directions orthogonales, reliés entre eux de manière à former un manchon tubulaire dans lequel la direction de plus grande raideur d'un élément en tissu s'étend axialement (26) le long de l'axe du manchon et la direction de plus grande raideur de l'autre élément s'étend généralement transversalement (30) à l'axe du manchon. Un manchon tubulaire en trois parties peut être fabriqué de sorte que la section intermédiaire (12) possède une direction de plus grande raideur qui soit transversale à l'axe du manchon et que les sections d'extrémité possèdent une direction de plus grande raideur (26, 28) s'étirant le long de l'axe du manchon.
