Biomechanics 2 - TF Flashcards
whatre we concerned about –> M/L alignment
stabilizing RL in the socket
stabilizing hip joint/pelvis in frontal plane
M/L stability
single leg stance
gait
midstance
stabalization
stabilization –> gait
socket/RL interface
muscle stabilization
pelvis falls to unsupported side
socket/RL interface –> stabilization
prevent movement b/w them
pelvis falls to unsupported side –> stabilization
eccentric ABDs
M/L normal BoS
2-4”
support point –> ML
weight bearing point
ischial containment
G max/ischial tub
support line –> ML
weight line
from support point to ground
inset/neutral/outset
inset foot –> ML
normal ML alignment
normal BoS
what should we look at –> ML alignment
pressures in socket
stabilization of ABD (pelvis)
socket pressures –> inset
proximal medial
distal lateral (cut end of femur)
socket pressures –> outlet
distal medial (ADDs)
proximal lateral (greater trochanter, pressure sensitive)
ABD stabilization –> MS
lateral socket stabilizes ABDs
prevents pelvis from dropping on unsupported side
ischial containment socket –> socket design
pressure system/pelvic lock
3 point pressure system
what does the ischial containment socket prevent
shifting of tibial tuberosity
what does the ischial containment socket stabilize
the pelvis
ischial containment socket has
narrow M/L
curve of lateral femur
pelvic lock
pelvic lock –> ischial containment socket
ischial tuberosity locked
minimizes movement
minimize socket pressure
minimize socket pressure –> ischial containment
minimize distal lateral pressure
foot alignment –> ML
b/c femur is well stabilized
what is the femur well stabilized w/ –> foot alignment
start at inset
move out laterally if there is lateral pain
ABD stabilization has
narrow ML
curve of lateral socket along the shape of femur
pelvic lock
stabilizes ABDs
socket position –> ABD stabilization
neutral
not adducted
subischial socket has no
lock of ischial tuberosity
ischial tuberosity slides w/ muscle contraction
subischial socket provides
poor stabilization of the ABDs
