lower extremity amp

Question 1

K0

Answer 1

does not have the ability to or potentially amb or to transfer safely without assistance

a pro does not enhance their QoL or mobility

Question 2

K1

Answer 2

have the ability of the potential to amb or transfer using a pro in level surface of fixed cadence

normally limited or unlimited household amb

Question 3

K2

Answer 3

has the ability of the potential for amb

transverse low level barriers such as curbs, stairs, or uneven surfaces

limited community amb

Question 4

K3

Answer 4

has the ability of the potential for variable cadence amb

community amb

can transverse most environmental barriers

may have a vocation, therapeutic, or exercise activity that demand pro use beyound normal means

Question 5

K4

Answer 5

has the ability of the potential for prosthetic amb that exceeds basic amb skills, exhibiting high impact, stress, and energy levels

child, active adult, or athlete

Question 6

what are the pressure tolerate areas on the trans tib pro

Answer 6

patellar tendon

pre tib muscle

lateral aspect of fib

medial tib

popliteal fossa

Question 7

pressure sensitive ares of the trans tib

Answer 7

tib condyles

fibular head

distal fib

tib tubercle crest

distal tib

hamstring tendon

Question 8

what is the suspension

Answer 8

o This is the part of the prothesis that prevent it from falling off as you move

o Gel liner

Question 9

what is a blocking gel liner

Answer 9

have a pin in the bottom that prevents the pro from falling of

Question 10

what is the socket

Answer 10

o This is the part of the pro that your res limb slides into

Question 11

what is the shank

Answer 11

the part that connets the socket to the foot

Question 12

what is the aligments

Answer 12

the spacial relationship between the socket and pin

Question 13

what are Sheaths

Answer 13

worn next to the skin to minimize
- shearing forces
- sweat
- aid in skin integrity
- or may be worn between liner and the pro to help with donning

Question 14

what are liner liners

Answer 14

worn against the skin and act as a sweat absorption aid under a gel liner.

Question 15

what are the two types of liners

Answer 15

gel and foam

Question 16

what is the point of liners

Answer 16

Liners are worn between the leg and the socket.

They provide protection and comfort for the residual limb and can sometimes also assist with suspension.

Question 17

how often do we clean liners

Answer 17

every evening

Wash with lukewarm water and mild, odorless soap

turn right side out to dry overnight

Question 18

what are the two typed of sockets

Answer 18

patella tendon bearing

total surface bearing

Question 19

patella tendon bearing where is the pressure

Answer 19

Counter-pressure of the patellar tendon bar and posterior popliteal region

Question 20

total weight bearing socket where is the pressure

Answer 20

uniform distribution without significant accommodations for pressure

Question 21

what do we use socks for

Answer 21

used to accommodate changes in size of the residual limb

Question 22

what can wrinkles in socks leas to

Answer 22

can cause unwanted skin issues and wounds

Question 23

Too many socks can cause

Answer 23

 Feeling of a long prosthetic limb
 Sensation of hill climbing
 “Hammocking” (when socks prevent residual limb from fitting snugly in prosthesis with the residual space resembling a hammock) may cause distal discomfort
 Pressure on tibial tubercle
 Difficulty donning

Question 24

Too few socks can result in

Answer 24

 Short prosthetic limb
 Sensation of dropping into a hole
 Excessive pistoning
 Distal pressure
 Pressure on distal patella
 Pressure on distal fibula, fibular head or medial tibial flare
 Easy donning

Question 25

what is a Quadrilateral socket used for

Answer 25

trans femoral

opposing forces to keep the ischial tuberosity on a ledge that is built into the socket

Question 26

what is the main WB in a Quadrilateral socket

Answer 26

the ischial tuberosity

Question 27

what is ischial containment socket used for

Answer 27

force is focused primarily through the medial aspect of the ischium and the ischial ramus

socket encompasses both the ischial tuberosity and the ramus; the specific contour depends on the musculature, soft tissue, and skeletal structure of the amputee.

Question 28

Sub-ischial brimless sockets

Answer 28

vacuum suspension system and gel liners to ensure constant contact with the socket to minimize movement, maximize femoral control, while lowering trim lines

Question 29

what is one thing true about all trans femoral sockts

Answer 29

These sockets use the entire residual limb to evenly distribute weight bearing forces.
