KerDOG is a rehab cart that integrates a patented system with pedals that helps dogs suffering from various pathologies to get their legs motion coordination and their muscle structure back. These elements are essential for them to walk again. KerDOG has been developed and designed with veterinarians among the most recognized in the world, especially in the Domains of Neurology and Orthopedics. KerDOG has three shifts that help to follow the evolution of the progresses made by the dog based on 3 phases: The back legs are motioned by the pedal-board at a coordinated pace with the motion of the front legs. It allows to keep or strengthen a basic level of muscle mass that is needed to move to the next level The back legs, after having their sensitivity back start to move. The pedalboard is then deactivated to help the dog to get his natural gait coordination back. The pedal board module is taken off from the cart (it takes a minute) to allow the back legs to move autonomously.

The pelvis is supported to get the full balance back. The most common pathologies on which KerDOG has proven its efficiency are: World-first operation implants 3D-printed titanium ribcage and sternum 3D printing body part replacements seen in hospitals of the future A 3D-printed wheelchair is helping a puppy born without his two front legs get a rolling start to life. Tumbles was born in early October without its front limbs, and was taken in at two weeks of age by non-profit organisation Friends of Shelter Dogs in Ohio, whose rescue coordinator Karen Pilcher serves as the pup's foster mother. While Tumbles had already started to adapt by moving with his nose and back legs, a veterinarian had recommended the pup be fitted for a cart so he could build back leg muscle more naturally. After a photo of the pup was posted to Facebook, the Ohio University Innovation Centre offered to helped print a wheelchair designed by one of the shelter's volunteers. The wheelchair took about 14 hours to be printed.

"Our main goal [was] to get him off the ground. The second thing is to get him used to it," Innovation Centre lab director Joe Jollick told ABC News in the US. Tumbles will be assisted by a group of physical therapists to help him acclimatise to the set of wheels, with another wheelchair fitting due this week. The Innovation Centre said it would continue to keep Tumbles equipped with free wheels for the rest of his life. "This is just letting people know that [3D printing] can be used for just about anything," Dr Jollick said.
