<p>A joint support (10) is attachable to a limb of an animal to limit movement of an associated limb joint substantially about a single axis. The joint support includes a radial element (18) having a longitudinal axis and a transverse element (32) having a longitudinal axis. The transverse element (32) is pivotally connected to the radial element (18) about an axis of rotation. The longitudinal axis of the radial element (18) substantially intersects with the axis of rotation, and radial rotation of the radial element (18) is restricted about the axis of rotation. The longitudinal axis of the transverse element (32) is partially fixed relative to the radial element (18) so that the same is substantially co-planar with the longitudinal axis of the radial (18), element and substantially offset from the axis of rotation.</p> |
