Q

special considerations of USER EVAL: of UE:

A
trauma

23
Q

body powered prosthesis are called

A

cable driven

24
Q

body powered prosthesis relies upon

A

gross body movements captured thorugh a harness

25
Q

benefits of body powered prosthesis are

A

moderate cost and weight
durable
environmentally resistant
prioprioception through harness system

26
Q

limitations of body powered prosthesis are

A

grip strength or pinch force
restrictive & uncomfortable harness
requires muscle power & excursion
poor static & dynamic cosmesis

27
Q

body movements needed for prosthetic control : transradial:

A

transradial

  • elbow flexion
  • elbow lock
  • terminal device needs:
  • scapular AB duction and humeral flexion
28
Q

body movements needed for prosthetic control: transhumeral

A

elbow flexion
- scapular ABduction / humeral flexion
elbow lock:
- shoulder depression and humeral: ABduction / extension

29
Q

an externally powered prosthesis aka means

A

“electrically powered or “moyelectic”

30
Q

an externally powered prosthesis is powered by

A

a battery
and myoelectric signals
- by various input methods

31
Q

benefits of an externally powered prosthesis:

A
stronger grip forces 
moderate or no harnessing 
minimal energy expenditure 
least body movement to operate 
moderate aesthetics
32
Q

limitations externally powered prosthesis:

A

heavier
more expensive
limited sensory feedback extensive therapy training

33
Q

muscle groups for myoelectric control: transradial:

A

wrist flexors / extensors

  • FCR
  • FCU
  • ECRL / ECRB
  • EDC
34
Q

muscle groups for myoelectric control: transhumeral :

A

biceps brachii
triceps brachii
deltoid

35
Q

a myoelectric hand is always stronger than a

A

hook hand

36
Q

hook will have less _____ but _____

A

pinch

is lighter

37
Q

elbow has to be

A

body powered

38
Q

hand can be

A

externally powered

39
Q

why would we suggest an activity specific prosthesis:

A

FUNCTION IN ADLS

40
Q

an activity specific proshesis is also

A

adaptive / recreational

41
Q

activity specific is designed for

A

a specific activity

- an adaptation to an exisiting prosthesis

42
Q

TMR means

A

targeted muscle reinnervation

43
Q

a TMR is a

A

reassignment of nerves

44
Q

some partial hand prosthesis options are:

A
  1. silicone restoration
  2. opposition prosthesis
  3. mechanical systems
  4. powered finger systems
45
Q

success depends on

A

COMMUNICATION

46
Q

what are the two phases of rehabilitation?

A

pre prosthetic

post prosthetic

47
Q

parts of the preprosthetic phase:

A

presurgical

post surgical and in fitting process

48
Q

post prosthetic phase is

A

after prosthetic delivery

49
Q

primary goal of the preprosthetic phase is to

A

reinforce realistic expectations;

50
Q

EMG steps:

A

develop two anatagnositic muscles with acceptable EMG output

  1. develop EMG separation between the muscle sites
  2. develop stamina in each muscle
51
Q

things you have to teach with a new prosthetic aka interventiosn:

A

donning of prosthesis
control of components
functional training
occupational performance

52
Q

preprosthetic training focuses on :

A

promoting readiness for the permanent prosthesis

53
Q

promoting readiness for the permanent prosthesis includes:

A
promote skin healing 
conditioning 
preventing contractures 
controlling edema 
providing desensitization to the residual limb
54
