24 hrs a dady

26
Q

when is the ACE rewrapped

2-3x a day or as needed

27
Q

when do they WB –> ACE

A

delayed until healing

28

A

approx 2 weeks

40
Q

inspect –> protocol –> RD

A

regularly

41
Q

what does RD do –> protocol –> RD

even w/o WBing

it protects and shapes the RL during healing

42
Q

what should they have –> protocol –> RD

A

well healed

well shaped RL

43
Q

advantages of RD

A

decreased flexion contracture

protects healing limb

edema control and shaping of RL

decreased pain

prosthesis ready soon

INSPECT THE LIMB

44
Q

disadvantages of RD

A

lack of mobility unless use IPOP (pylon)

excessive pressure during WB –> causes breakdown

cheap

adjust for shape

easy to apply

inspect healing limb
