gait deviations Flashcards
BK
Prosthesis
Vaulting, Pelvic Hike, Circumduction (3)
- prosthesis is too long
- insufficient suspension: pistoning and dropping down lengthens it
- foot set in too much PF: lengthen it
BK
Patient
Vaulting, Pelvic Hike, Circumduction (3)
- knee extension contracture: cannot shorten
- weak hip and knee flexors: need to compensate with trunk or pelvis
- Lack pre-ambulation training
BK
Rapid and Excessive Knee Flexion in Early Stance (6)
- BK socket tilted too far anteriorly
- foot set too far posteriorly
- hard cushion heel: if cannot compress for FF need to bring forward tib and fib –knee flexion
- knee flexion contracture
- pain in residual limb –protective knee flexion
- inability to compress heel

- inability to compress heel: if cannot compress for FF need to bring forward tib and fib –knee flexion
BK
Insufficient Knee Flexion In Early Stance (6)
- insufficient anterior tilt of socket
- foot set too far anteriorly = not far enough posteriorly
- Heel is too soft
- knee extension contracture
- Quadriceps weakness–lock knee in extension and lean forward with trunk to create biomechanical extension moment at knee–dont want a flexion moment because of weak quads so lack flexion
- Residual Limb Pain

BK
Excess Valgus at Midstance (4)
- foot set too far laterally
- poorly fitting socket
- Genu Valgum
- MCL Laxity
BK
Prosthesis
Excess Valgus at Midstance (2)
- foot set too far laterally
2. poorly fitting socket–prosthesis is thrusting in medially as a result crating a valgus moment
BK
Patient
Excess Valgus at Midstance (2)
- Genu Valgum
2. MCL Laxity
BK
Excess Varus at Midstance (4)
- foot set too far medially
- poorly fitting socket
- genu varum
- LCL laxity

Patient

BK
Medial and Lateral Whips (2)
medial whip: heel turns in medially
lateral whip: heel turns out laterally
- poorly fitting socket
- insufficient accommodation of hamstring tendon
- —(hamstring tendon pushes into the posterior wall and creates the rotation)
