At least two cables (28) are provided, each cable (28) operatively connected to at least two segments (12a, 12b). At least two sets of pulleys (22a, 22b, 24a, 24b) are mounted on the at least two segments (12a, 12b) with each cable (28) operatively connected to at least two segments (12a, 12b) running through a pulley (22a, 22b, 24a, 24b) on each of the at least two segments (12a, 12b) in alteration, shortening of each cable (28) by pulling at least two segments (12a, 12b) together and tightening the orthotic device (10).

La présente invention concerne une orthèse (10) qui comprend une partie principale (12) destinée à être enroulée autour du torse de la personne et composée d'au moins deux segments (12a, 12b) juxtaposés. Les extrémités libres d'au moins deux de ces segments (12a, 12b) sont munies de fixations détachables (16b, 16c) permettant d'attacher lesdits segments l'un à l'autre. Au moins deux câbles (28) sont prévus, chacun d'eux étant relié de manière fonctionnelle à au moins deux segments (12a, 12b). Deux jeux de poulies (22a, 22b, 24a, 24b) au moins sont montés sur au moins deux segments (12a, 12b).
