Q

What are the pressure intolerant areas

A

fibular head
tibial crest
distal anterior tibia
hamstring tendons

24
Q

What does an adjustable socket-less socket look like? what are the benefits?

A

usually has a ratchet, more pressure on tolerant areas

25
Q

What K level might have the waist belt suspension?

A

K1

26
Q

What K level might have the joints and corset suspension?

A

K1

27
Q
A

supracondylar suspension

28
Q
A

cuff strap suspension

29
Q
A

Sleeve suspension

30
Q

How does the suction suspension work?

A

rub alcohol on residual limb and by putting it into sockets, the air comes out and suction is formed

31
Q

What are the locking liners suspensions

A

pin and lock
shuttle lock system
lanyard

32
Q

What K level is household ambulater and fixed cadence

A

K1

33
Q

What K level is fixed cadence, multiple surfaces, low level barriers

A

K2

34
Q

What K level is stairs, variable cadence, uneven terrain

A

K3

35
Q

What is K4?

A

specific athletic feet

36
Q

Which foot has no ankle movement

A

SACH

37
Q

When the cushion heel is too stiff you ___, when the cushion heel is too soft you ___

A

buckle
hyperextend

38
Q

A single axis foot has __ mvmt but no __

A

DF/PF
no in/ev

39
Q

the PF bumper is used for which rocker?
If its too stiff you__, too soft you__

A

1st Rocker (loading response)
buckle
hyperextend

40
Q

multi axis foot has which mvmts

A

DF/PF, M/L

41
Q

What K levels is single axis foot and multi-axis foot

A

single: K1
multi: K2

42
Q

What is he keel made of in a K1 foot? K2? What does the keel do

A

K1 - wood
K2 - rubber
gives toe off in trailing limb position, the rubber one has some energy storing

43
Q

What kind if foot is light weight, carbon fiber, energy storing
What K level?

A

dynamic response foot
K3

44
Q

Can the microprocessor foot accommodate different heel heights?

A

NO

45
Q

What kind of foot has constant feedback about surface and adjusts to different shoes

A

microprocessor foot

46
Q

What feet do K1 qualify for?

A

SACH, single axis

47
Q

What feet do K2 qualify for?

A

multi-axial, flexible keel

48
Q

What feet do K3 qualify for?

A

dynamic response, flex-foot, multi-Axial

49
Q

What is bench alignment

A

5 degrees of socket flexion
5 degrees socket adduction
foot slightly inset, medial border in parallel to line of progression

50
Q

Why is the socket set to 5 degrees flexion (anteriorly)?

A

elongates quad –> increase shock absorption during LR

51
Q

Why is the socket set to 5 degrees of adduction? where do we want to pressure?

A

to create varus moment at the knee
pressure distal lateral - tibialis anterior
pressure proximal medial - tibial crest

52
Q

Why is the foot slightly inset?

A

to create a narrow BoS and more energy efficient

53
Q

What is the bench alignment for the illiac crest? Why?

A

level to or 1cm shorter on prosthetic side for foot clearance

54
Q

bench alignment for heel hight
too low:
too high:

A

hyperextend
buckle

55
Q

What are you looking at with dynamic alignment

A

stance stability
swing clearance
equal step lengths
energy efficiency

56
Q

What intrinsic problems will a PT influence

A

weakness
contracture
pain
fear
