Musculoskeletal Conditions Flashcards
Disarticulation amputation
amputation across a joint
syme’s amputation
amputation at ankle
when is the preprosthetic phase
post surgery to receiving prosthesis
when is the prosthetic phase
after receiving the prosthesis
what are the typical limitations of UE amputations
manipulation of objects
what are the typical limitations of LE
functional mobility
OT eval during post-op phase of amputation
- pain and edema
- skin complications
- bone spurs, neuromas
- phantom pain and sensation
OT eval of prosthetic phase
- changes in sensation, pain
- body image
- skin, pressure injuries
- strength, flexibility, edema
Cause of pressure injuries with prosthesis
ill-fitting socket or wrinkles in sockets
cause of sebaceus cyst with prosthesis
torque of socket
cause of edema with prosthesis
ill-fitting socket or too tight
preprosthetic training interventions
- limb hygiene and wound care
- limb shrinkage and shaping
- ADL retaining
how is limb shrinkage done
elastic bandage worked up to elastic compression once drainage stops
w/c set up with amputations
- residual limb support
- rear wheels placed further back
- antitippers
describe terminal device on prosthesis
foot or hand
body powered prosthetic system
cable driven with gross proximal movement
electrically powered prosthetic system
- muscle surface electricity
- must have 2 muscle sites in prosthesis
hybrid prosthetic system
- body-powered and electrical
- commonly for transhumeral amputation
passive prosthetic system
static prosthesis
activity specific prosthetic system
designed for particular task
prosthetic training
- donning/doffing prosthesis
- wearing schedule
- limb hygiene
- prosthetic care
- functional training and driving
wearing schedule during prosthetic training
- initially 15-30 minutes checking for irritation
- if not irritated after 20 minutes, increase 15-30 minute increments until wearing full day
prosthetic care
- daily cleaning with soap and water
- replace batteries
contracture
shortening of skin, ligaments, joint capsule, tendon, muscles
