The invention concerns an orthesis, made of flexible material, for immobilizing the thumb base joint, with a wrist strap surrounding the wrist and with a tubular extension piece receiving the thumb. The extension piece contains a sheathlike reinforcement with a transverse cutout located on the inside of the thumb base joint, and has in the region of the thumb base joint, on the outside of the thumb, a transverse slit of a length such that the transverse slit opens when the thumb base joint is bent, the degree of opening being limited by a flap which, bridging the transverse slit, extends from the outer region of the extension piece to the wrist strap and can be secured to the latter.
