Stretch bandage for foot drop

This is a Swedish physiotherapy website and you have to put it in the Google translator or Babelfish to read it, but look what they're doing with tape on this Dachshund to correct knuckling.

Interesting idea, but Koi would hate that worse than shoes. Terrible thing to have such an ornery child!!!!

Thank goodness I copied this photo here, I was afraid it was gone. I requested that the webpage be archived on archive.org several years ago in case the webpage was ever taken down. It is still archived but without the photos, and this photo was the main reason I asked them to archive it. This may be the only source for this photo at this point, and what a loss it would be to lose it.

Effective, but it doesn't look very comfy. It seems to me that it would cause all kinds of skin breakdown, especially between the toes??
