A support body (1) for knee orthoses and/or knee joint braces in the form of a splint (2) which extends along and partially encloses the lower leg of a wearer and is connected at the upper end to an orthosis hinge or a hinge of a knee joint brace and which is provided at a lower end with a foot part (3) receiving at least the heel of a wearer. At the upper end of the splint (2), two connection points (4) for the knee orthosis and/or knee joint braces are arranged laterally to the wearers leg, which connection points transition into a section which runs downward at the wearers shin bone along the leg and which, on its part, transitions again above the wearers ankle region into two connecting parts (6) which run laterally to the leg to the foot part (3).
