Cú Cúram

The Cú Cúram project is a canine rehabilitation harness designed to aid older dogs suffering from chronic hip issues such as arthritis and hip dysplasia. It aims to support dogs’ recovery through an innovative at-home therapy solution that integrates heat and vibration treatments. The harness features a fabric body, a detachable control hub, and two heated hip pads. Using an inbuilt accelerometer, the system detects when the dog is lying down and activates a 20-minute therapy cycle. This cycle promotes circulation and reduces pain, enhancing the dog’s mobility and quality of life. Designed with comfort and usability in mind, the harness includes ergonomic features like Velcro fastenings and clearly labeled components to ensure correct placement. The project addresses a significant gap in veterinary aftercare by offering a reliable, home-based recovery aid for owners who may lack the time or skills to provide manual therapy. Overall, Cú Cúram supports comprehensive, continuous rehabilitation between veterinary visits.
