Painful, loosened total hip prostheses and instability following their removal require up to now occasionally support by means of a brace. The paper deals with design, way of action and indication of a new, light-weight, dynamic brace to controle the motion of hip joint. It is evident that this brace can be used not only to manage the loosening of a total hip prosthesis or conditions following the resection of the head of femur, but also in osteoarthrosis of hip joint.
