WIMBA Case Studies
GENIE
Genie, a 12-year-old Terrier mix, struggled with a tarsometatarsal luxation in her right hindlimb. A custom-made WIMBA tarsal brace enabled normal weightbearing and facilitated her rehabilitation, including underwater treadmill therapy and therapeutic exercises. With that support, Genie’s luxation has significantly stabilized.
BONO
Bono, a 6.5-year-old Golden Retriever weighing 36 kg, was diagnosed with a proliferative lesion in the ankle joint area. Despite unsuccessful treatments with antibiotics and steroids, an ankle orthosis with physiological angle restriction was applied in February 2023. Currently, Bono’s joint condition is stable, and he is regaining his mobility with 3D-printed tarsal orhotics.
