The invention relates to an orthesis for the prevention and/or treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome, comprising a substantially rigid hand fixation brace extending immediately over the dorsal part of the hand, which brace has two ends, one of which is provided with a part to be fastened to the wrist and underarm while the other is provided with a finger coupling part. The finger coupling part which is formed as a finger supporting brace, preferably only engages the index and middle finger, while the top of the finger supporting brace is open to allow finger movement in the upward direction. Further, the hand fixation brace is curved such that when the orthesis is in use, the dorsal part of the hand extends slightly upward with respect to the top side of the underarm.
