Abstract
The invention relates to a thumb orthosis (2). The thumb orthosis (2) consists of a spreading body (1) which in particular has a bending elasticity and which serves for spreading a thumb (26) and a pointer finger (27). Furthermore, the thumb orthosis (2) comprises holding devices (22, 23) by which an end portion (28) of the spreading body (1) can be held at the thumb (26) as well as an end portion (29) of the spreading body (1) can be held at the pointer finger (27). The thumb orthosis (2) is exclusively held by the two holding devices (22, 23) at the hand (24) of the user wearing the thumb orthosis (2).
