Veterinary Prosthetics and Orthoses for Dogs

Custom mobility devices designed to restore function, stability, and long-term musculoskeletal health in dogs with limb impairments.

Mobility impairment in dogs can result from injury, surgery, neurological conditions, or congenital limb abnormalities.

Veterinary prosthetic and orthotic devices provide targeted biomechanical support, enabling safer movement, improved gait mechanics, and reduced secondary strain on joints and the spine.Enter your text here...

Prosthetic Devices (Prosthetics)

Veterinary prosthetics are designed to replace a missing part of a limb and restore weight-bearing function.
They are typically indicated after amputation or in cases of partial limb absence.

Common indications

  • Limb amputation (front or hind limb)

  • Partial limb loss

  • Congenital absence of a limb segment

  • Traumatic limb injury where reconstruction is not possible

Clinical goals

  • restore symmetrical weight distribution

  • improve balance and posture

  • reduce overload of remaining limbs

  • support long-term mobility

Orthotic Devices (Orthoses)

Veterinary orthoses are designed to support, stabilize, or limit movement of an existing limb or joint.
They are used when limb preservation is possible but requires biomechanical assistance.

Common indications

  • Joint instability (e.g. ligament injuries)

  • Neurological conditions affecting limb control

  • Post-operative stabilization

  • Chronic orthopedic conditions

  • Preventive joint protection

Clinical goals

  • joint stabilization

  • controlled range of motion

  • improved limb alignment

  • pain reduction and functional support

Prosthetics vs. Orthoses: What Is the Difference?

Prosthetics

- Replace missing limb segment

- Used after amputation

- Restore weight bearing

- Long-term mobility restoration

Orthoses

- Support existing limb

- Used when limb is preserved

- Stabilize or guide movement

- Rehabilitation or preventive support

This distinction is essential for selecting the appropriate clinical solution.

Device Selection Based on Clinical Assessment

Each mobility device is selected based on:

  • anatomical structure

  • type and location of impairment

  • gait and movement analysis

  • veterinary diagnosis

  • activity level and lifestyle

There is no universal solution — proper device selection is critical for long-term success.

Our Clinical Development Process

  1. Medical and movement assessment

  2. Device selection (prosthetic or orthotic)

  3. Custom design and manufacturing

  4. Fitting and functional optimization

  5. Follow-up adjustments and long-term care
