Q

Discuss the following type of AFO:
Free Motion

A

Little or no resistance to PF or DF, helps maintain alignment and M/L stability
- e.g. posterior tibial tendon dysfunction, frontal plane instabilities of subtler, and/or talocrural joint

Q

Discuss the following type of AFO:
Dorsiflexion assist

A

Dynamic DF assist, primarily for weak DF, limited resistance to PF. Assist toe clearance during swing phase and help control PF at initial contact (e.g. posterior leaf spring orthosis with narrow plastic posterior strut or lightweight carbon fiber off-the-shelf orthosis)

Q

Discuss the following type of AFO:
Static or solid ankle AFO

A

Provides maximum stability and control of the ankle, ankle positioned in a preferred alignment, assist swing clearance and prepositioning. Leather lacer is an example of a static AFO

Q

Discuss the following type of AFO:
Ground reaction AFO

A

GRAFO; controls forward progression of the tibia, primarily for PF weakness, can influence the knee by decreasing extensor moment during stance, resists DF at the ankle

Q

Discuss the following type of AFO:
Patellar tendon bearing AFO (PTBAFO)

A

Unloads the distal limb, primarily for PF weakness, anterior shell with weight-bearing capabilities, shelf transfers force to the medial tibial flare, patellar tendon bar-like prosthetic sock

Q

Wrist cock-up splint

A

anterior or palmar splint that contains forearm and metacarpals. May include phalanges as well if needed for positioning
- Used for pts w/ RA, fractures of carpal bones, Colles’ fracture, carpal tunnel syndrome, stroke with paralysis, etc.

17
Q

Thumb Spica Splint

A
  • Hand-based splint designed to immobilize the first CMC joint
  • Thumb positioned in partial opposition and abduction with thumb IP joint left free for max function
  • Hand-based –> CMC arthritis
  • Forearm-based –> scaphoid fracture, scaphoid-lunate instability, de Quervain’s, etc.
18
Q

Dorsal Wrist Splint

A
  • Frees palm for feeling and grasping
  • Allows attachment of dorsal devices (i.e. rubber bands) to form a dynamic device
  • Used for flexor tendon repairs
19
Q

Airplane Splint

A
  • Positions the pt’s arm out to the side at 90º of ABD, with elbow flexed to 90º
  • Weight of outstretched arm is borne on a padded lateral trunk bar and iliac crest band
  • immobilizes shoulder following fracture of burn injury to prevent contracture of the axillary region
20
Q

Tenodesis splint

A
  • Assists in use of wrist extensors to approximate the thumb and forefingers (grip) in the absence of active finger flexion
  • Facilitates tenodesis grasp in patients with quadriplegia
21
Q

Finger splints

A
  • Mallet finger: palmar DIP gutter splint to support distal phalange
  • Boutonniere’s deformity: palmar PIP gutter splint to support middle phalange
  • Swan neck deformity: ring splints over PIP joint to prevent PIP hyperextension
22

A
23
Q

Review wheelchair skills training

A
24
Q

A

C6 complete SCI

25
Q

A

Minimum = 32 inches
Ideal = 36 inches

26
Q

How much distance is needed at the side of the bed for a wheelchair transfer in the home?

horizontal grab bar height?

A

toilet seat: 17-19 inches
grab bars: 33-36 inches

29
Q

Appropriate countertop height? depth?

A

height: for W/C users, no higher than 31 inches
depth: at least 24 inches

30
Q

Discuss the recommendations for ramps

A
  • recommended rise to run ratio = 1:12
  • minimum of 36 inches wide
  • Handrail 34-38 inches; should extend 12 inches beyond run on top & bottom
  • Level landing at top & bottom
