      Photos for Validation

      To ensure proper fitting of the orthosis, attach two clear photos of the limb where the device will be fitted. The photos must be of high quality, with the limb in the center of the image. It is essential that the dog naturally places weight on the paw during the photos.

      Include photos taken:

      • From the front
      • From the side

      Refer to the examples below for proper positioning:
