Device details

Tarsal Orthosis (Hock Brace) — Custom support for hock instability, injury recovery, and controlled motion.

Clinical overview

The Tarsal Orthosis is a custom veterinary ankle (hock) brace designed to provide stabilization while allowing functional movement. It supports ligament and soft tissue healing, helps manage instability, and improves comfort during rehabilitation or long-term management. Each device is fabricated to the patient’s anatomy to ensure proper alignment, fit, and consistent biomechanical support.

Indications

  • Tarsal (hock) instability or hyperextension
  • Partial ligament or tendon injuries of the tarsus
  • Post-operative support as directed by the surgeon
  • Chronic degenerative conditions requiring external stabilization
  • Support during rehabilitation to reduce strain and improve gait mechanics
  • Conservative management of soft tissue injuries affecting the hock
  • Long-term support for neurologic or biomechanical deficits affecting tarsal stability

Contraindications

  • Unstable fractures or conditions requiring rigid immobilization
  • Open wounds, active infection, or significant skin disease at brace contact sites
  • Rapidly changing limb swelling until medically stabilized
