Shank & Foot - TT Flashcards
shank
exo and endoskeleton
exoskeletal –> shank
solid piece of wood
attach foot and socket
laminate one piece
what is the shank –> endoskeletal
metal tube or pylon
endoskeletal
attach foot and socket
separate pieces secured together
makes prosthesis modular
what are more prostheses today –> shank
endo skeletal
fxn of the foot/ankle
BOS
motion
adaptation
propulsion
normal range –> foot/ankle
3 planes of motion
3 planes of motion –> foot/ankle
10 DF and 25 PF
supination/pronation
transverse/rotation
control –> foot/ankle
greater the movement in prosthetic joint/greater control needed by the prosthetic wearer
K levels
how feet are organized
K0-K4
K0
prosthesis does not enhance QOL
no prosthesis
K1
level surfaces, slow gait, fixed cadence
house hold walker
K2
low level environmental barriers
limited community ambulatory
K3
fxnal level that demands prosthetic components beyond simple locomotion
K4
exhibiting high impact, stress or energy level
child, active adult, athlete
K1 level feet
most basic foot available
K1 level feet have
limited fxnal requirements
minimal maintenance
what is a K1 foot used for
transfers
limited ambulation
K1 feet are not
energy storing
