A knee-cap for treatment of an injured joint comprises an external layer of a dense cloth, an internal annular elastic layer (2), stiffening elements (3, 4 and 5) located in between, and means (9) for fastening the knee-cap. Two groups of stiffening elements, in particular rubber tubes (3), closely fit the lateral surfaces of the joint, repeat its configuration and support its ligaments, and the third group consisting of two stiffening elements (4 and 5) softly fix the kneepan. |
