Which of the following is not a listed knee hitting remedy?

Knee hitting remedies focus on altering how the foot contacts the ground and how the leg moves to prevent contact that can injure the knee. Heel caulks change the heel contact and breakover timing, which can help stabilize the limb at stride transition. Borium spots add traction and grip, reducing slipping that might lead the limb into a knee strike. Studs similarly enhance traction on challenging surfaces, helping keep the leg from slipping into the knee area. Bell boots, on the other hand, are protective gear worn on the front of the hoof to prevent the hoof from overreaching and striking the opposite leg. They don’t modify breakover or traction in the way these shoeing remedies do, so they aren’t considered a knee hitting remedy.
