A knee brace (10) divided into anterior and posterior halves including a proximal member (40) and a distal member (42). The brace (10) further including at least one substantially inelastic cross strap (18, 20) adjustable in length and connected to the proximal and distal members (40, 42). The cross strap (18, 20) has first and second portions which intersect at an intersection point (21) located between the proximal and distal members (40, 42) and posterior of the frontal plane of the brace. Tightening devices (22, 23) are provided for incrementally applying tension to the cross strap (18, 20), and buckle assemblies connect the cross strap (18, 20) to the proximal and distal members (40, 42).

L'invention concerne une orthèse (10) de genou divisée en moitié antérieure et moitié postérieure comportant un élément proximal (40) et un élément distal (42). Ladite orthèse (10) comporte en outre au moins une bande transversale (18, 20) sensiblement non élastique que l'on peut régler en longueur et qui est reliée aux éléments proximal et distal (40, 42). La bande transversale (18, 20) a une première et une seconde parties qui se croisent à un point d'intersection (21) situé entre les éléments proximal et distal (40, 42) et la partie postérieure du plan avant de l'orthèse. Des dispositifs de serrage (22, 23) permettent d'appliquer progressivement une tension à la bande transversale (18, 20), et des ensembles boucles relient la bande transversale (18, 20) aux éléments proximal et distal (40, 42).
