The device ( 10 ) comprises a knitted article of the stocking, sock, or tights type having a leg portion suitable for coming into contact with the skin of the lower limb. At least in a portion of its surface in contact with the lower limb, the device comprises a knitted zone ( 24 ) that is electrically conductive and that is connected to one terminal of an electromyostimulation generator ( 12 ). The height of the conductive zone ( 24 ) is defined to cover a extent of a selected region of the lower limb, in particular the calf, thigh, or foot region, and the stitch of the knit in this conductive zone includes a filler yarn and/or a face yarn that is electrically conductive. Advantageously, the knit and the yarn of the article are selected in such a manner as to form a compressive orthosis suitable for delivering therapeutic compressive support that decreases from the ankle.
