The mobility of your animal can be affected in many ways, from physical trauma and injury, neurological deficiencies, or sometimes simply old age. At Animal Kingdom Brace & Limb, we produce braces that are designed specifically to aid your animal by supporting the affected joint in healthy movements, and dispersing body weight to help prevent further injury. Our braces are fabricated in our own lab, on site in Delray Beach, Florida, and are crafted by skilled technicians using the highest quality, durable materials from a cast of your animal’s affected limb. This produces a product with an optimal fit and superior function.

Listed below is a partial list of common injuries and ailments that your animal may benefit from bracing:

Cranial Cruciate Ligament Insufficiency

CCL insufficiency is the most common cause of hindlimb lameness in dogs. Numerous surgical treatment options exist, but surgery is not always a possibility. Concurrent medical problems, financial concerns, or staging procedures for bilateral CCL insufficiency are all reasons for either forgoing or delaying surgical treatment.

Carpal and Tarsal Injuries

Carpal and tarsal devices have been used in both humans and dogs in hyperextension injuries, sprains and strains, and Achilles tendon disruption. Orthotic devices can be used for both nonsurgical management and to enhance postoperative management of these conditions.

Luxating Patella

A patella, also known as a knee cap, normally glides up and down the trochlear groove. Patellar luxation occurs when the patella slides out of the groove. This prevents the knee from bending and, over time, can lead to arthritis. Our custom brace can be designed to keep the patella in place, which reduces pain and further injury.

Arthritis

One in five dogs suffer from canine arthritis according to the Arthritis Foundation. If you have an older dog who has started to slow down on walks and has difficulty getting up and down, your dog may be suffering from arthritis. Most commonly seen in older dogs, it can affect the legs, hips, back and more – making everyday movements painful. Bracing can provide additional support that makes it easier for weakened limbs to function in additional to decreasing discomfort and inflammation.

About Prosthetics

Sometimes, nature creates a very special animal that may be missing a limb or limbs or may have an incomplete limb that may be short or lacking sufficient bone or tissue structures. Other times, amputation of a limb or partial limb may be the last resort in easing an animal’s pain or even saving the life of the animal due to disease or accident. The absence of a normal limb can cause the animal to place undue stress on the unaffected limbs. This can lead to strained soft tissues and ligaments as well as joint structures. An artificial limb (prosthetic device) constructed from a cast of the residual limb or remaining structures can ease the stress placed on the remaining limbs and back, reducing the risk of further injury or disease.

Your animal will be evaluated and considerations taken not only for the body type of the animal, but for your animal’s specific activity level and type of activity enjoyed – whether it be for a simple walk in the park or perhaps hunting and retrieving, water sports or running for great distances. No matter your animal’s demands, a prosthetic device will be designed and fabricated to help meet or exceed the desired outcome. Our goal is to provide the tools necessary for your animal to live its best life!
