What is the difference between a Metal and a Composite joint?
We do not make braces with the metal on them, because we have found that they are heavy and do not work well with the dogs that we have tried to put them on. Metal joints are non-energy storing joints. They swing freely and the dog has to do twice the work on their bad leg. In the last several years, they have been replaced with the composite rubber joints (Tamarack Joints), which actually are energy storing and returning joints. They work and move with the dog’s movement.
