Isometric 10 second contraction
2 second initiation, 6 second hold, 2 sec slow release. 5-10 sect rest. increase reps over time
concentric/eccentric
2 sec contraction, 1 sec hold, 4 sec. eccentric. be progressive. 3 x’s/wk
Important UE exercises
bench press supine, shoulder press, lateral raises, functional push-up, biceps, elbow extensions, wrist flex/ext.
standing exercises
intact: heel raises, shallow squat, sitstand; residual limb: OKC in all planes, WB-ing thru the residual limb, balance
LE mat exercises
supine: SLR, TKE, abs; prone: RLR, hamstring curls; side-lying: LLR, MLR
functional training includes:
bed mobility, sitting balance, transfers, sit to stand, adulation, elevations, WC mobility, other(?)
a prosthetic foot allows heel toe gait by…
1) controlling foot flat
2) permitting toe off
3) permitting rollover
classifications of prosthetic feet
articulated, non-articulated (more common), energy storing
energy storing prosthetic foot works by…
absorbing energy around mid-stand and heel rise and returning it for tow off
plantar flexion bumper
seen in the heel of a single axis foot, works like the eccentric contraction of the tibias anterior between heel strike and foot flat
dorsiflexion stop
seen in anterior ankle portion of the single axis foot and limits DF in mid stance and heel rise before toe off
SACH foot
solid ankle cushioned heel
types/names/brands of feet
SAFE foot, Seattle foot, Carbon Copy II foot, STEN foot
SAFE foot
stationary ankle flexible endoskeleton
STEN foot
“SToring ENergy”
flexfoot
best energy storing available. light, resilient, mad of carbon fiber/graphite.
flex walk
flex foot’s little sister. low profile. not as much energy storing as flex foot
college park truestep
has forked forefoot
2 main types of socket for a BK amputation
patella Tendon bearing socket, total surface bearing socket
suspension
pelite and gel liners
SC cuff v. SC wall
supracondylar cuff is a belt like attachment, results in poisoning. SC wall comes up over the femoral condyles to hold on ?
if limb is fluctuating in size, what is a good option
thigh corset and fork strap but must be able to tolerate pressure
suction suspension
not good for those with fluctuations in limb size. must be pressure tolerant
locking gel liner suspension
tight gel liner with pin extending inferiorly, uses suction and pin clicks in. button release for the pin
