Embodiment Construction

[0013] The present invention provides devices and methods for the non-surgical treatment of abnormalities of the canine knee, where the abnormality may include partial rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (CrCL), complete rupture of the CrCL, or displacement of the patella.

[0014] A first aspect of the invention relates to a system for correcting a dog's gait comprising:

[0015] at least one orientation sensor and at least one actuator for attachment to (e.g., strapped to) a canine limb, for example two orientation sensors and actuators for attachment to a contralateral limb, and

[0016] A computing device receiving orientation sensor data, wherein at least one actuator is adapted to be activated by the computing device if the orientation sensor data exceeds an acceptable threshold level.

[0017] In one embodiment, the device includes at least one orientation sensor strapped to the hind limb, preferably the tarsus, in communication with a computing device, such as a ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to devices and methods useful in training dogs how to control the muscles involved in rotation of the tibia in order to reduce the risk of cranial cruciate rupture. The invention has further applications in training dogs to increase abduction of the hind limbs to avoid hip dysplasia, as well as abduction of the front limbs to avoid elbow dysplasia.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to devices and methods for training canines how to control the muscles involved in tibial rotation to reduce the risk of anterior cruciate ligament rupture. The invention has further application in training dogs to increase hindlimb abduction to avoid hip dysplasia and to increase forelimb abduction to avoid elbow dysplasia. Background technique [0002] The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the human knee, commonly known as the anterior cruciate ligament (CrCL) in canines, can often tear in trauma. In dogs, CrCL is impaired in most cases following a degenerative process whose etiology is not fully understood. [0003] In human orthopedics, the standard procedure is to replace the damaged ACL with an allografted ACL, or an autograft made from part of the patient's own patellar ligament or parts of fascia and tendon taken from the hamstring muscle group Replace damaged ACLs. This surgery stabilizes the knee, but the lo...
