DonJoy Anaform Pinpoint Knee Strap vs Mueller Advanced Patella Strap

Both are patellar tendon straps for jumper's knee, runner's knee and Osgood-Schlatter. The DonJoy Anaform PinPoint is the simpler, lighter strap with a foam pad and Velcro closure, sized in three alpha ranges and hand-wash only. The Mueller Advanced Patella Strap adds a custom-molded buttress and a bi-lateral strap that lets you tune tension on each side, which helps with patella tracking, and it can also be worn above the knee for IT band issues. Owners of both report relief during running and jumping; the Mueller gives more adjustment, the DonJoy a more minimal feel.

• Choose the DonJoy Performance Anaform PinPoint Knee Strap if you want a light, low-profile strap with simple Velcro adjustment for patellar tendon pain and you prefer alpha sizing.
• Choose the Mueller Advanced Patella Strap if you need directional tension control for patella tracking or IT band problems, or want a wider size range including one-size and small/medium.
