      Medical Indications

       

      WIMBA Carpus Orthosis:

      • Carpal hyperextension (compensatory, ligament, or tendon condition)
        • mild cases
        • maximum angle in extension: 205 degrees
      • Osteoarthritis in the carpal joint
      • Rehabilitation Therapy (variety of uses)
      • Prevention for numerous situations
      • Support for obese dogs

      Distal strap is placed 4.5cm from the carpal joint - we will not accept patients with smaller limbs (Minimum= 11cm limb circumference).

      The number of proximal straps (1 or 2) will be based on the measurements submitted.

      Red Flags

      (Cases Not Suitable for Carpus Orthosis)

      • Deformation of the joint
      • Joint rebuilt
      • Deformation of digits
      • Medial or lateral instabilites

      WIMBA Tarsus Orthosis:

      • Tarsal hyperextension (compensatory, ligament, or tendon condition)
        • mild cases
        • maximum extension: 180 degrees)
      • Tarsal hyperflexion (Achilles tendon/CCT injuries with no complete tear present)
        • mild cases
        • maximum flexion: 90 degrees
      • Osteoarthritis in the tarsal joint
      • Rehabilitation Therapy (variety of uses)
      • Prevention for numerous situations

      Summarized Indications for WIMBA Orthoses:

      1. Carpus Orthosis: Designed for mild carpal hyperextension (max 205°), osteoarthritis, rehabilitation, and support in obese dogs. Not suitable for joint deformation, reconstructed joints, or medial/lateral instabilities. Minimum limb circumference: 11 cm.

      2. Tarsus Orthosis: Suitable for mild tarsal hyperextension (max 180°), hyperflexion (max 90°), osteoarthritis, and rehabilitation. Excludes cases with joint deformation, reconstructed joints, or medial/lateral instabilities. Minimum limb circumference: 11 cm.

      3. Usage Guidelines: Orthoses are tailored for individual patients based on provided measurements and photos. Severe conditions or improper measurements may disqualify cases.
