A joint for an orthopaedic device, in particular an orthosis or prosthesis, wherein the joint has a first element, at least one spring element and a second element, which is mounted so as to pivot on the first element against a force applied by the at least one spring element in at least one direction. The at least one spring element has at least two helical springs which in each case are wound from a spring strip having a longer cross-sectional side upright with respect to the spring axis and are screwed into one another in such a way that the longer cross-sectional side of at least one of the helical springs has an angle different from 90° relative to the spring and that the spring strips butt against one another.
