Prep for Prosthesis (1) Flashcards
goals of prep for prosthesis (1)
prepare RL for prosthesis
increase mm strength
maintain or normalize ROM
goals of prep for prosthesis (2)
demonstrate full WBing as tolerated
independence in balance and gait w/ or w/o AD
independence in ADLs w/ and w/o prosthesis
K0
prosthesis doesnt enhance QOL
no prosthesis
K1
level surfaces
fixed cadence
household walker
K2
low level environmental barriers
limited community ambulatory
K3
fxnal level that depends prosthetic components beyond simple locomotion
K4
exhibiting high impact, stress or energy level
child, active adult, athlete
what is K level determined by
outcome measures
choose valid, reliable and responsive fxnal outcome measures
outcome measures
TUG
Berg
6MWT
AMP-PRO
how long is the pre prosthetic phase
2-8 wks
perioperative phase length
12-14 days
what is the perioperative phase (summary)
pre op phase
amputation/reconstruction
acute post-op
pre-prosthetic phase summary
prosthetic prep
prosthetic prescription/fabrication
evaluation/general re-eval
RL
what do we evaluate of the RL
integument
ROM
MMT
girth and length measurement
MMT –> evaluating RL
can add resistance
resistance more proximal than normal
girth and length measurements –> evaluating RL
re-assess and compare for shrinkage
treatment –> motor learning principles
focus on how to use the prosthetic
not on the design and fxn
