A knee brace including a lateral hinge component and a medial hinge component, a lower member encompassable about a lower leg portion and having a lateral element and a medical element each extending upwardly and connectingly engaged respectively to the hinge components, an upper member encompassable about an upper leg portion and having a lateral element extending downwardly and connectingly engaged to the lateral hinge component and a medial element extending downwardly to a distal end terminating above the medial hinge component. The distal end has a configuration non-obstructingly complementarity to an upper shape of the medial hinge component for full and uninterrupted flexion of the lower leg at the knee joint. A medially disposed arm is connectingly engaged to the medial hinge component and extends upwardly from the hinge component to be adjacent the medial element of the upper member for connection to each other with a releasably securable slidable engager. The arm and medial element are slidable and securable against each other to thereby laterally inwardly and outwardly position the upper member in angular relationship to the lower member and consequently treat inward or outward leg curvature through correction of knee joint orientation.

The invention relates to an electric winding body (1a, 1b, 1c) comprising an electrically conductive winding and an insulation surrounding the winding, wherein the surrounding insulation surrounds the entire winding and forms a mechanically stable winding body, and wherein inside the winding body at least one continuous channel having an opening in the electric winding body is arranged. By arranging an elongation element (2a, 2b, 2c) in the openings of the continuous channels, the channels are elongated beyond the dimensions of the electric winding body, thus providing for improved cooling. By attaching additional lateral elements (8a, 8b, 8c, 8d) on the outer wall of the electric winding body, the intermediate space created in this way forms a new cooling channel, which produces an additional cooling effect due to the air current created by the chimney effect.
