Support for paw position and proprioception.

The anti-knuckling device provides protection against trauma from scraping or dragging the paw while walking or running. The device provides variable tension so you can adjust the level of cranial swing support as the dog’s condition improves or worsens.

Purpose

The anti-knuckling device's support for your companion.

Proprioception is often impaired in these cases but can be improved through the tactile sensation of the boot, the proper paw alignment to the ground, and the dynamic pull on the tarsus and related joints. It’s also a great hands-free method of developing proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNM) patterning. In short, the anti-knuckling device helps the dog remember what their gait should look and feel like.
