Contracture Braces

Contracture braces are used to increase range of motion in a joint. There are two types of these braces; static progressive or dynamic. Static progressive contracture braces stretch a joint by slowly increasing range incrementally. This type is worn in 30 minute sessions several times a day to most effectively increase range. Dynamic contracture braces use a spring like joint that keeps constant tension on the shortened muscles and can be adjusted according to your pet’s tolerance. These can be left on for longer periods of time, but both are great options for releasing contracted muscles at any joint. Contact Animal Orthocare to discuss the best option for your pet.
