16
Q

C-leg

A

in stance hydraulic fluid resistance

in stance its single axis

17
Q

When are anatomic fit suspension systems used?

A

congenital amputee

18
Q

How many socks should be limit before socket replacement?

A

> 12 ply

19
Q

Amputee mobility predictor (AMP)

A

outcome measure that predicts amputee’s ability to ambulate

0-42 points

20
Q

in amputee, when will they need more sock ply, morning or afternoon?

A

afternoon

21
Q

Do you cover patella in ace wrapping amputee?

A

do not cover if active/complains of pain when covered

cover if edema in area of patella & short limbs

22
Q

Key muscles to test for TT and TF/KD

A

TT - quadriceps

TF/KD - hip extensors/abductors

23
Q

Typical contracture with TF/KD

A

FABER position

24
Q

LisFranc amputation

A

tarsal-metatarsal joint

25
Q

Syme’s amputation

A

rearfoot with trimming malleoli to create flat surface for weightbearing

26
Q

Specific weight bearing interface

A

use soft tissue areas to achieve weight bearing & creates reliefs over bony prominences (opposing forces hold limb on)

27
Q

Which pts are good candidates for specific weightbearing prostheses?

A 
bony limbs
past users
preparatory prosthesis
medium to short residual limbs
pt who require knee stability
28
Q

Total surface bearing prosthesis

A

circumferential pressure provides bearing characteristics

  • -equal pressure distribution around pressure area
  • -flow from area of most pressure to least

NOT good for hygiene

29
Q

Which pts are good candidates for total surface bearing prostheses?

A

all lengths/all tissue consistencies
pts w/ abnormalities, scar tissues, adherent tissue, chronic breakdown
those who want distal attachment suspension systems

30
Q

Hydrostatic prostesis

A

fluid becomes the soft area drawn distally to provide padding

31
Q

Who should get hydrostatic prostheses?

A

pts who want distal attachment suspension systems

short, fleshy or medium residual limbs

active patients

32
Q

Quadrilateral socket design

A

Not stable coronally
I.T. sits on ledge
squeezes medial to lateral to prevent lateral shift during gait

33
Q

Ischial ramus containment socket design

A

I.T. inside socket
Stability coronally
squeezes anterior to posterior to keep I.T. on shelf
less pelvic shift with gait

34
Q

Which muscles are lost from knee disarticulation to transfemoral if cut proximal to adductor tubercle?

A 
adductor magnus
semimembranosus
sartorius
gracilis
semitendinosus
