56
Three month old congenital transtadial amputee has been refered to you for evaluation, would you recommend fitting at this time ? why? describe in details you recommendation for prosthetic treatment starting with initial fit through the stages as child develops?
No fitting at 3 months, skin in tender and limited until child sits "fit with sit" usually 6 months with passive opening TD cuff and harness reasons Balance improved to get child used to normal symmetrical length extremities to simulate bilateral function at normal work distance to incorporate a prosthesis into body image to help xhild and parent to accept prosthesis to reude dependence on tactile sensation on end of limb.
57
When to use TD, Mitt, Harness, Active harness
Activate terminal device when child puts items in TD-- clue that child is ready to use bemanual activited usually 18 monthe to 2 years.
58
In stance phase, what socket and amputee condition would cause trendelenburg gait?
Prosthetic Insufficient socket adduction Loose socket M/L No skeletal lock ``` Amputee Short limb Weak hip abductors Hip pathology Distal lateral stump pain ```
59
Alignment consideration for bilateral trans femoral?
Outset feet Make knee as stable as possible Shorten height of prosthesis.
60
Unilateral trans femoral amputee has been fit with a definitive prosthesis, she returns one week after delivery with excessive knee flexion occurring at heel strike. Give as many causes as possible for the unstable knee
Insufficient flexion Unstable alignment Stiff planter flexion bumper or firm SACH heel cushion.
61
Why is insufficient flexion a cause of knee instability at heel strike?
A Ak amputee requires 15 degrees of extension, for normal stride length. 10 degrees available in lumbar, therefore, 5 degrees of preflexion is needed to allow normal stride length with sound leg. 5 degrees preflexion, hip extensor on stretch for powerful extension for of knee stability.
62
What would cause an trans femoral to break suction when he sits?
Anterior brim too high Loose socket tension A/p too large.
63
How would you correct lateral whip?
Externally rotate knee Correct post-med wall angle that I'd too great Ask patient to Redon prosthesis.
64
Figure 8 TR Harness | Name 6 parts and use
Anterior support strap- passes through deltoid pectoral groove, connects to prosthesis by inverted Y strap. Provides stability against downward pull. 18in long Inverted Y- 8-10 in 1/2 in wide provides stability against downward pull Control attachment strap - 24 in long, connects to cable system to control TD. Sit low across scapula to allow for better excursion Axilla loop- anchor for harness, suspension. 3 feet long top end is sewn to NW ring, bottom connects through 4 bar buckle 4 bar buckle wide slot towards ring NW ring- located below c7 towards sound side, aids in suspension
65
A 45 year old male, bilateral trans femoral amputee acquired from a traumatic injury, he is 6 months post operative, what would be some consideration before fitting?
Consideration: general health, upper extremities, skin consideration, occupation First 6 months Shriners Stubbies for eval for definitive prosthesis Total contact, pelvic belt in length is sufficient Fit with TF prosthesis Total contact with Silesian belt Total contact with pelvic suspension 1 knee weight friction locking knee for stability 1 knee non locking for sitting Single axis feet Extra points-use endoskeletal when fabricating with ultra lite componentry.
66
Explain how the single control system works?
Stainless steel cable attach to the cable attachment strap, the cable enters the cable housing at the level of the proximal tricep cuff and the housing runs through the cross bar assembly tab located on the tricep cuff. Is passes close to the elbow joint. And enters the base plate to anchor the cable to the socket. It leaves the cable housing.
67
Figure 8 TH harness | Name 7 possible options?
Axilla loop- 3 feet long, aids in suspension and anchor for harness! superior end is seen to NW ring, inferior connects through 4 bar buckle 4 bar buckle- use to assemble harness, wide slot towards ring Anterior control strap- runs through deltoid pectoral groove, and attached to socket anterior just slightly above mechanical elbow. Primary suspenders, prevent external rotation, distal 2/3 made of elastic webbing. Control attachment strap- 24 in long, connects to cabling system to operative terminal device NW ring- sits inferior slightly towards sound side to lay low across the scapula for better excursion. Aids in suspension lateral control strap- primary suspension for TH, prevents external rotation when operation terminal device. Attaches to axilla loop and TH socket just anterior to acromion, and close to proximal trim lines. Cross back strap (optional)- prevents harness from riding high on shoulders, and eases prosthetic use. Often use in TH because the harness needs to very snug.
68
What would be a good quality(s) to look for in a prosthetic foot for a TT amputee who is a K2 designated household ambulator that utilizes his prosthesis efficiently during the day but fatigues in the evening and buckles at the knee secondary to quadriceps weakness.
Foot that progresses rapidly into plantar flex ion during loading response. Heel should have a relatively soft durometer.
69
A TT patient is seen presenting with a traditional exoskeletal PTB prosthesis with a SACH foot. Patient states that see feels like to prostheses is throwing her knee forward as soon as the heel firmly contacts the ground. She has worn this prosthesis comfortable for two years until one month ago. What is the first clinical action you should tale at this time in the appointment?
Check to see if the patient switched to a shoe with a higher heel height compared to what she used to wear.
70
The Krukenburg procedure is used at times in developing countries where expensive prosthesis are not attainable. What other patient population would this be potentially used for?
Blind patients with bilateral below elbow amputations. | Failed prosthetic use for bilateral below elbow amputations.
