    摘要: A device for addressing normal cyclic limb/hoof loading that causes devastating consequences in a horse at risk for SLL or suffering from acute laminitis. Weight force/ground reaction force interaction is cyclically loaded and offloaded to enhance perfusion of the supporting lamellar apparatus, solar corium, and other hoof structures with nutrient laden blood and removal of the lymph fluid with toxic waste products. The device causes a forced cyclic hoof motion of the loaded or unloaded patient in a lateral recumbency pained hoof. The motion is applied to hydraulically force or enhance the tissue perfusion of the hoof's internal structures and enhance or reestablish normal health of the hoof. Various externally applied forces are utilized, including mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and other manners, to increase the reduced or non-existent cyclic loading of the limb. The device can be used to measure/record movement and adjust cyclic frequencies and range of motion.

    摘要: A “rocker” attachment for an equine boot with an adjustable shaped structure that attaches to the underside of a sole of an equine boot and allows the boot to rock forward—break-over—when tilted, as by movement of the equine leg, thus allowing the equine to find a naturally comfortable position.

    摘要: A horseshoe for attaching to a horse's hoof using an adhesive, such as glue. In one example, the horseshoe includes an elastomeric body containing a wear material, which improves wear and traction performance of elastomeric shoes. In another example, the elastomeric material may include radiopaque materials to improve visibility of the shoe when x-rays are taken of a horse's hoof or leg. In some aspects, the radiopaque material may be blended with the wear material. Or if the radiopaque material exhibits abrasive/gritty qualities, the radiopaque material may also serve as the wear material.

    摘要: The present invention relates to sole support pad for hoofed animals but more particularly to sole support pad for horses with laminitis or other foot problems. Said sole support pad comprises a curable resin-coating tiny expandable polystyrene balls which can be placed directly to the foot with or without shoes in a matter of seconds. It further relates to a process of producing said sole support pad comprising the steps of; coating polystyrene balls with poly-isocyanate prepolymer under dry atmosphere; allowing isocyanate and polyol to react; hardening the resin upon wetting with tertiary amine or organic peroxide solutions, and packaging coated balls in impervious package to prevent contact with atmospheric pressure.

    摘要: There is disclosed an improved shock absorbing, light-weight, thermally insulative orthotic pad designed for use in a pad and boot assembly for hoofed livestock. The pad is comprised of a mixture of small particles, preferably spheroids, and elastomeric materials. In a preferred embodiment, elastomeric material generally is more concentrated at the top portion of the pad, and particles dispersed in a matrix of elastomeric material concentrated at the bottom section of the pad. The particles have a lower density than the elastomeric materials and possess better thermally insulative properties, and in a particularly preferred embodiment, at least some of the particles are comprised of closed-cell polypropylene foam. A method of making the light weight pad is also disclosed

    摘要: A device used to protect the hoof of a horse, replaces a horseshoe and takes the form of a sole (1) which is glued to the lower surface of the hoof, i.e. the surface that rests on the ground. The sole (1) is made from a low-density synthetic material. Moreover, at least one part of the sole includes at least two stacked layers (2, 3) of material having different hardness values. One of the layers (2) has a greater hardness value in order to withstand wear and abrasion, the layer forming the surface of the sole (1) that rests on the ground, while another layer (3) has a lower hardness value in order to form a shock absorbing and/or damping layer, the layer being intended to come into contact with the hoof. The assembly follows the natural deformations in the horny wall of the hoof.
