Chest expansion.

61

63
Q

306.Quad socket …go?

A

Weight bearing in socket is achieved through gluteal musculature and ischium, I wide seat is parallel to the ground. Which the skeletal and muscles rest on top of. Counter pressure in on three medial third of anterior wall– scarpus triangle-
Goal of socket is to reestablish normal addiction angle. Done thought lateral wall, entire lateral wall flattened along the shaft of femur except distal femur. The lateral wall is contoured over the hip abductors muscles to discourage abduction
Medial wall is flat in hedge Sagittal plane along the proximal 4 in of these socket before flaring out
Designed with initial flexion to avoid lumbar lordosis

64
Q

307.Ischial containment socket …go?

A

6 objectives 1- maintain normal femoral adduction
2-enclosure of ischial tuberosity and Ramus creating “boney lock”
3- max effort to distribute forces a long shaft of femur 4-decrease narrow A-P
5- total contact
6- use of suction whenever possible

65
Q
