What problem does the Mihapi® Walkband address?
In some dogs, especially puppies or animals with neurological or muscular alterations, an excessive opening of the hind legs may appear when walking or trying to stand up.
This situation makes correct support difficult, compromises stability and can lead to falls, insecurity when moving and muscle overload.
Mihapi® Walkband is designed to help control this opening, promoting a more aligned and functional position of the hind limbs during walking.
Why does excessive opening of the hind legs occur?
The exaggerated opening of the hind legs may be related to different factors, among them:
Swimming puppy syndrome → Difficulty in keeping the legs under the body during development.
Neurological alterations → Lack of control and coordination of the posterior musculature.
Muscle weakness → After periods of inactivity, surgery or advanced age.
Postoperative processes → Hip, pelvis or femur surgeries requiring support during recovery.
- or neurological conditions that reduce sensitivity in the paws.
- Weak musculature or atrophy → Lack of hind leg strength due to inactivity or advanced age.
How does excessive openness affect a dog's quality of life?
A dog with difficulty keeping its hind legs aligned may show insecurity when walking, avoid movement for fear of falling, or exhibit premature muscle fatigue.
If left unaddressed, this situation can interfere with puppy motor development or slow recovery in adult dogs.
What options are available to improve subsequent stability?
Rehabilitation and physiotherapy → Exercises to improve strength, coordination and neuromotor control.
Functional supports such as Mihapi® Walkband → Designed to accompany movement, control the opening of the rear legs and promote a more stable gait.
Veterinary follow-up → Especially in neurological or postoperative cases.
Mihapi® Walkband does not replace veterinary treatment, but can be a complementary support within a process of recovery or re-education of gait.
