Prosthetic Phase (1) Flashcards
how do we determine K level
objective measures and outcome measures
scores of K level
range of scores across K-levels overlap
overlaping scores –> K level
mean scores do not overlap
range overlap makes determination difficult
allows for more flexibility
K1
slow walker
K2
intermediate walker
K3
fast walker
K4
fast walker and athletic activity
K1 and K2
stance control (single axis) and polycenturic knees
Foot: SACH or low level dynamic feet
K3 and K4
hydraulic and micropressor knees
higher energy storing dynamic feet
what are independent of K level
socket suspension and interface
bilateral
prosthetic check out
static
dynamic
static –> prosthetic check out
prosthesis
donning
check w/ pt sitting
check w/ pt standing
check doffing/inspection
prosthesis –> static
check prosthetic prescription
donning –> static
does the prosthesis fit
check insert/socks/interface
check ability to don
check insert/socks/interface –> donning –> static
measured in ply (cotton 2 ply/wool 3-5 ply)
insert 15 ply
check w/ pt sitting –> static
pressures
TT –> posterior, liner, knee flexion, RL
TF –> easy flexion, amount of flexion
check w/ pt standing –> static
pain/sensations
tissue rolls
foot position (shoe contact)
knee stability (TT/TF)
pistoning
leg length
suspension
total contact
