Q

What does Frontal Plane Mean?

A

Abduction and Adduction

17
Q

What does Sagittal plane mean?

A

Flexion and Extension

18
Q

How does COM change during an amputation of LE?

A

COM will move away from removed limb and become higher up.

19
Q

For an AKA, Low anterior wall indicates what?

A

Weak Quadriceps

20
Q

Lateral Bending for AKA Stance Phase Deviation?

A

Short Prothesis or inadequate lateral wall

21
Q

Abduction for AKA Stance Deviation?

A

Long prothesis or abducted hip joint

22
Q

Lordosis during stance phase of AKA amputation indicates?

A

Anterior socket wall discomfort

23
Q

Forward Flexion during stance phase of AKA gait deviation?

A

Unstable knee joint or short walker

24
Q

High Heel Rise during swing phase for AKA amputation?

A

Inadequate friction or slack extension aid

25
Terminal Impact during swing phase for AKA amputation?
Inadequate friction or taut extension aid
26
Heel whip during swing phase for AKA amputation?
Knee bolt rotated or prothesis donned to malrotation
27
Foot Rotation during swing phase for AKA amputation?
Stiff heel cushion or malrotated foot
28
What does LIME WHIP stand for?
Lateral Whip = Internal rotation & Medial Whip = External rotation
29
What will happen with PF is restricted by hard bumper?
Increased flexion of knee to clear floor & bumper will not absorb shock so abrupt excessive knee flexion
30
What will happen with a soft PF bumper
Causes hyperextension of the knee
31
What are the Orthotic causes of Toe Drag?
Inadequate DF assist (similar to weak muscles) Inadequate PF stop (similar to spastic muscles)
32
What are Pressure Sensitive Areas for Transtibial Amputation?
Anterior tibia, Anterior Tibial Crest, Fibular head and neck, & Fibular nerve
33
What are pressure Tolerant Areas for Transtibial Amputation?
Patellar tendon, Medial Tibial Plateau, Tibial and fibular shafts, & Distal end of Fibula
