A knee brace ( 10 ) consisting of an upper arch ( 12 ) positioned, when worn, above the knee and a lower arch ( 16 ) positioned, when worn, below the knee, connected to means of constraint for fixing to the limb, a first upright ( 13 ) equipped in its central part with a joint ( 15 ) consisting of a pair of respective rotating elements comprising toothed wheel portions prevented from reciprocally moving in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the brace, the first upright ( 13 ) presenting a first system designed to exert adjustable pressure on the knee joint and a second system designed to compensate the deformation of the first upright ( 13 ) in exerting this pressure, the first system consisting of a first micrometric angular hinge ( 20 ) positioned on the femoral part of the first upright ( 13 ) and a second micrometric angular hinge ( 21 ) positioned on the tibial part of the same upright ( 13 ), the brace having each of the respective rotating elements rigidly connected to a respective micrometric angular hinge element, and each micrometric angular hinge which is also rigidly connected to the second compensation system which is in turn connected to a respective femoral or tibial arch of the brace ( 10 ).
