Dr. Robert
Gillette, Director of the Sports Medicine Program at the
College of Veterinary Medicine, AuburnUniversity, USA,
and Past-President of the American Canine Sports
Medicine Association carried out kinematic analysis of
the product which showed the product reduced the trauma
of impact in dogs with weakened carpi or prevented the
stress of impact in normal carpi without reducing the
carpel extension.
He used a computer assisted video graphic gait
analysis to find that using the Westcoast
Hydrotherapy Wristguard decreased
the impact forces upon the carpus without decreasing the
carpel extension, ie. dogs still have full flexion but
reduced trauma to the wrist or hock.

Through experience,
Westcoast Hydrotherapy have found that stopper pads are extremely
susceptible to splitting whilst competing in Flyball and
agility activities. Wristguards have been proven to greatly
reduce such an injury |
