they will think that their arm is just gets in the way BUT if they fit before the age of 2 it will use the arm as a normal part of their body
what contractures are common after limb loss surgery
hip and knee
Develop as a result of muscle imbalance, tightness, withdrawal reflex
what needs to be protected during amputations
protection of the neuroma (severed peripheral nerves) allow for faster return to mobility
what are some system complications after post surgical phase
cardiovascular integumentary musculoskeletal sensation cognitive psychological
what is bench of prosthetic alignement
the initial position of the socket relative to the foot and knee. Each foot/knee has a specified bench alignment.
what is the body powered motion of the scapular abduciton
Spreading the shoulder blades apart in combination with humeral flexion, or alone will open the terminal device.
what is residual limb pain
– Confined to residual limb
– Usually recovers after 4-6 weeks
– Primary cause is the prosthesis. Or may be due to ischemia, inflammation, infection, bone spurs, neuroma, referred pain
what is static of prosthetic alignement
the initial alignment as the person stands on the prosthesis.
what is the body powered motion of the shoulder depression , extension , abduction
This will simulate the motion required to lock and unlock the elbow in the individual with transhumeral amputation.
what are some types of disease related amputations
osteosarcoma
ewings sarcoma
what is Fluid-controlled:
allows for variable cadence, increased weight and cost
