If you google "livestrong open patella" the first link will give you an short article showing pros and cons. Long story short, open ones are typically more comfy for long term use.

I think there is no difference. It depends on the price. You will be able to choose better one for you. Good luck.

The open patella style knee brace seems to lock it in place on the knee for me. Others that I tried without the open patella would ride up or down depending on what I was doing and bunch up under the knee which was very uncomfortable. By the way I LOVE my pair of open patella braces. Great support for my Arthritic knees.

The brace has an opening for the kneecap , some braces do not have this but it seems to give more flexibility. Hope this helps.

I believe its both - the straps adjust above and below the patella. (I'm a physical therapist and HIGHLY recommend this knee splint) One pulls it on, aligns the center hole to encircle the patella and then tightens to comfort the Velcro straps above and below the knee joint. I needed it for medial and lateral meniscus tears and a medial quadriceps tear - it was great and my knee felt secure while weight bearing and walking. Hope this helps!

Not sure which measurement you want. The brace itself wraps around the knee and closes with velcro. The fastening strap wraps around the knee again to secure it, also with velcro. I'm not sure what the question is.

Hi Dana! I went to DONA's website but didn't see milligrams, just salt (3%). I think the difference is that one comes in blister packs and the other loose in a bottle. I don't think there is a difference in dosage. I use Prime to get free shipping. I also check Walgreens as they sometimes have a better sale, but not often. I've been using this for 2 years and rarely have a problem with knees or hands. Anne

This was an answer to this very question from one of their customer service reps via email... "Thank you for contacting Ab Carver! The difference in these two products comes from a little more stability in the handles for the Ab Carver Pro and the knee pads are better cushioned. The design and function of the products are generally the same so you will achieve the same goal no matter what you choose."

My knee is 17.5 I am using (L) T10 or TS1. Personally I like T10 better for better protections.

The difference is the handle. The 960 Ltd, it has the longer handle grip bar. I bought the one with longer handle grip. So glad I did. I can grab it and pull myself up better, especially when I am inverted at a lower angle. I absolutely love my teeter hang up EP-960 Ltd. I have four bulging disc in my lower back, and my upper back and neck issues. My doctor, a Nuero-Surgeon, even suggested using the teeter hang-up, or have surgery on my lower back. I would rather try this unit out first, before having major back surgery. After having this unit for 3 months, I am really feeling a difference. I'm not cured from the bulging disc, but it has made a huge difference in the way I feel. It has relieved the pressure on my low back and my upper back. I was in physical therapy (PT) and they did traction on me, it helped quite a bit on me. You can only go to PT for so long, and they write you off. So I needed something at home, to continue with some kind of traction. The teeter hung-up has been great for my recovery on my lower back, and the continuous relief on my upper back pain and neck pain. My endurance level has increased within the last month. It takes a few months before you really see a difference. Start with a few minutes at first, then increase your time slowly. Also start with the short inversion angle at first, then gradually increase the inversion angle to a lower angle. You need to start out slowly, or you will hurt yourself. It takes time to recover from back problems, but this has been a good investment for me. I am doing much better compared to where I was 4 months ago, even two years ago, when I was first injured with the bulging disc issue. I am standing, walking, and doing things more, and getting around a lot better now. I will use this unit all the time, just to continue strengthening by back, and have a straighter spine. Hope this helps answer your question.

I used the universal pad for my son's knee surgery. It comes with velcro so you can tighten it up how you want it.

Not certain about "Both Sides"............I assume at the same time????...................I don't think so unless it's a Child's knee, especially if you "Fill" it with Ice. One may have better results to Two Smaller ones............but there again, you get into "QUALITY" with the smaller ones. Great question, tho. Good luck.........and Happy New Year !!!!!!..........all year long.

Open and closed are the exact same. I have to remove the case to talk on the phone, which defeats the purpose.

I believe you can buy either your choice. The closed front is higher in price. I got the open front but wish i had gotten the closed. The lid covers the entire seat.

The one I got my daughter has the open mouth. It does not stay closed like some of the pictures show. I think that may be a second style.

There is no difference in the product. One is sold by Amazon and the other is sold by My Surgical Supply. Buy the cheaper one sold by Amazon.

Correct - opening is what you measure and what they say. They are very nice and good price!

This knee roller seem to look more durable in the pictures. I thought the description was better than the other one that you are looking at. The knee rest part looked softer on this model. This model is made in the USA and not imported. The basket is so handy. I recommend this knee roller so much. I have used it for the last 6 weeks and its so much better than crutches. more freedom then crutches.

The circular one will allow you the ability to "roll" as it is, on the floor. The semi one is basically the circular cut in half, its going to sit as is, and basically not move when your doing PT on it. Let me know if that helped you out.
