17
Q

Knee Instability correction

A

Decrease degree of DF.
Decrease anterior translation of socket.

18
Q

Knee Hyperext causes

A

Heel cushion too soft.
Heel/toe lever too long or too firm.

19
Q

Excessive Varus causes

A

Too much inset.
Hypermobile LCL

20
Q

Excessive Valgus causes

A

Insufficient inset.
Hypermobile MCL

21
Q

Socket ABD/Add causes

A

ABD: walking on lat side of foot.
Add: walking on med side of foot.
Due to degree of ankle inversion/eversion.

22
Q

Drop Off looks like

A

Sudden knee flex in late stance phase

23
Q

Drop Off causes

A

Heel/toe lever too soft or too short.
Heel height too high.
Prosthetic too short.

24
Q

Vaulting looks like

A

Excess PF on non-prosthetic side to clear prosthetic limb.

25
Q

Vaulting causes

A

Prosthetic too long

26
Q

Pistoning looks like

A

Tibia moves vertical during WB vs NWB phases.

27
Q

Pistoning causes

A

Socket too big.
Not wearing enough socks.

28
Q

Excessive Hip ABD or Circumduction causes

A

Medial rim of socket too hight up, jams into skin.
Increased volume of residual limb.
Extreme knee flex resistance (not enough knee flex).

29
Q

Terminal Impact looks like

A

Audible clunk at end of terminal swing phase. Knee flings into extension.

30
Q

Terminal Impact causes

A

Inadequate knee ext resistance

31
Q

Unequal Step Length causes

A

Insufficient socket flexion (should be 5°).
Often associated w/ lumbar lordosis.

32
Q

Excess Pelvic Elevation (hip hiking) causes

A

Prosthesis too long, insufficient knee friction

33
Q

Medial Whip looks like

A

Heel moves closer to midline during toe-off.

34
Q

Medial Whip causes

A

Knee axis in excessive ER.
Prosthesis incorrectly donned in ER.

35
Q

Lateral Whip looks like

A

Heel flings out laterally at beginning of swing phase.

36
Q

Lateral Whip causes

A

Knee axis in excessive IR.
Prosthesis incorrectly donned in IR.

37
Q

Lateral Trunk Bending (toward prosthetic side) causes

A

Prosthetic foot excessively out-set.
Prosthetic too short.
Socket ABD.
Antalgic compensation for bone spur.
Weak hip ABD.

38
Q

Excessive Heel Rise causes

A

Inadequate knee flexion resistance
