A knee brace (10) divided into anterior and posterior halves including a ventilated proximal and distal members (40, 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). Ventilated spacer elements (46, 48) having a frictional feature are provided for securing the brace against the leg of a wearer of the brace. The spacer elements (46, 48) generally correspond to the proximal and distal members (40, 42).

L'invention concerne une attelle pour le genou (10) divisée en deux moitiés antérieures et postérieures comprenant un élément proximal et un élément distal (40, 42) ventilé. Ladite attelle (10) comprend, de plus, au moins une bande croisée (18, 20) sensiblement inélastique, pouvant être réglée en longueur et reliée à l'élément proximal et distal (40, 42). La bande croisée (18, 20) présente une première et une seconde sections qui s'entrecroisent sur un point d'intersection (21) situé entre l'élément proximal et l'élément distal (40, 42) et qui sont postérieures au plan frontal de l'attelle. Les dispositifs de serrage (22, 23) sont utilisés de manière à appliquer une tension à la bande croisée (18, 20) et des ensembles boucles relient la bande croisée (18, 20) à l'élément distal et proximal (40, 42). Des éléments espaceurs (46, 48) ventilés présentant une caractéristique frictionnelle sont utilisés pour fixer l'attelle contre la jambe de l'utilisateur. Les éléments espaceurs (46, 48) correspondent généralement à l'élément proximal et à l'élément distal (40, 42).
