Abstract: A mobile orthosis for a four-legged animal such as a dog having injured rear quarters comprises a wheeled cart to which the animal is to be harnessed, the cart having a yoke attachable to the animal's thorax, a hip support member for carrying the animal's rear quarters, and a shin support for the animal's rear legs. A preferred embodiment comprises a two-wheeled cart having a pair of adjustment blocks each having a plurality of axle holes, the axle being positionable with respect to the cart to approximate a balanced support of the rear quarters.
