In knee splints swivellingly linked to each other and secured to shells, bands or the like of knee joint ortheses, supporting apparatus or lower leg prostheses, two curved guides (10, 11) are provided in a first splint (1). Bolts or the like (6) on the second splint (2) that delimit the swivelling angle of both splints are engaged in the curved guides (10, 11). In order to achieve an optimum approximation of the natural movement of the knee, an additional bolt or the like (8, 9) that seats in one splint (1) engages an additional curved guide (3) of the other splint (2). The additional curved guide (3) is inclined in relation to the longitudinal axis of said second splint (2). |
