What are the components of transtibial and transferal prostheses
shank/pylon
socket
suspension
Description of K0-
K0: Non ambulatory K1:Limited household ambulation K2:Limited community ambulation K3:independent community/leisure ambulation K4: High level activity.
Conventional feet are
not very mobile K0-1
3 kinds of conventional feet
SACH foot
SAFE Foot
Single axis
long lever=
short lever=
less stability more energy return
More stability less energy return
What are some dynamic response feet?
non-articulated short/long lever articulated long keel polycentric hydraulic ankle torsion absorbtion running
What is the purpose of a split keel?
reaction to different surfaces
Hydraulics controls
PF from initial contact thru LR
How is energy stored in hydraulic ankle?
when pylon DF over foot during stance
What does torsional absorbtion foot do?
whats this good for?
translates rotational force through foot
golf softball
pylons can be
endoskeletal
exoskeletal
Characteristics of pylon
transfer weight
Shockabsorber
can add rotator
restore length
Characteristics of socket
provide total contact
Counter-pressure for venous control
sensory feedback
Materials and methods of making socket
Casting vs CAD-CAM
Thermoset (resin)vs thermoplastic.
What are WB areas of patellar tendon bearing prosthesis??
patellar tendon
Gastroc
Pretibial muscles
Tibia& fibular shaft.
Most sockets for transtibial used with
what does it do
silicone liner
provides cushion
