Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de support (100) destiné à limiter le mouvement d'une articulation (G) d'une main (H), comprenant un premier composant (10) et un deuxième composant (20). Le premier composant (10) est conçu pour renfermer le pouce de la main (H), et le deuxième composant (20) comprend un premier segment (21) et un deuxième segment (22), le premier composant (10) pouvant pivoter par rapport au deuxième composant (20) autour d'un axe d'articulation (B). Le premier segment (21) et le deuxième segment (22) sont conçus de sorte que l'un des segments du premier segment (21) et du deuxième segment (22) repose contre la face supérieure de la main (H), et l'autre segment du premier segment (21) et du deuxième segment (22) repose contre la face inférieure de la main (H). Le premier segment (21) et le deuxième segment (22) produisent une force de maintien qui agit sur la main (H).
