Abstract
The bandage (10) for overload symptoms, femoropatellar pain syndromes and the patella point syndrome of an elastic bandage cloth in tubular form with a circumferentially extending insert (30) of a wavy knitted fabric (40) posesses in the front bandage portion (12) a pressure pad (50) or an annular pressure pad located within the area above the patella when the bandage is applied, which is open towards the top and leaves the quadriceps tenson uncovered (FIG. 1).
