Q

Elbow flexion attachment?

A
  1. upper limb amputees have strength by the shoulder joint rarely have to move the EFA more distal
  2. the lever arm( short residual limb) more distal the heavier the components, placement has an effect on the prosthesis function
  3. MORE PROXIMAL = MORE FORCE & LESS EXCURSION (used for shorter limb length, FA is longer, heavier TD)
  4. MORE DISTAL = LESS FORCE & MORE EXCURSION (ROM & distance, easier to lift the elbow).

Q

How can we improve the opening of the elbow to make it greater opening?

A

We can move the proximal base plate more distal; move the strap more inferior which allows more body movement which then requires less excursion to move the elbow. Or we can move the elbow attachment more proximal.

Q

What is the minimum amount of shoulder flexion is needed for a standard body powered prosthesis?

A

45 degrees

29
Q

Procedure for elbow disarticulation: where do we need loading what side do we pad?

A

Above the MEDIAL condyle so that we can doff the cast

30
Q

Coronal alignment: transhumeral prosthesis?

A

Evaluate anterior alignment attitude of socket on shoulder > medial portion of the turntable must fall 25mm or 1 inch (width of a yard stick) away from the widest point of the body.

31
Q

To assist an individual who is having difficulty flexing his transhumeral prosthesis through the entire range of 135° because it is requiring an excessive amount of force you would?

A

move the base plate on the humeral section more laterally,move the EFA further distally.

32
Q

The main advantage of using the three quarter socket (Sauter) modification is?

A

allows greater elbow flexion ROM.

33
Q

A person using a standard body-powered TH prosthesis is having difficulty getting full opening of the TD at the mouth. Identify one adjustment you would make to get increased opening?

A

add a cross back strap, move the proximal base plate posterior & distal b’c the CAS moves inferior gives more body motion

34
Q

One reason you may choose to pre-extend a forearm in fabrication is to?

A

improve the hanging angle for cosmetic reasons.

35
Q

If a patient requires greater than 45 degrees of shoulder flexion to flex the prosthetic elbow of a TH prosthesis, this is indicative of?

A

a control attachment strap that is loose.

36
Q

A TH patient is having difficulty achieving full opening of the TD at the mouth?

A

the EFA is too distal

the base plate is too proximal,the control attachment strap is too superior.

37
Q

Standard Sewn Figure of eight

A

Best anchor strap for the patient
inferior to C7 toward the sound side
CAS inferior 3rd of the scapula
Lateral suspension strap at the apex of the shoulder anterior to the acromion

38
Q

Ring type figure of 8 harness?

A

Benefits: lays flatter on the back, the straps are adjustable
Disadvantages: ring allows it to pivot which can lead to less excursion
comes with a ½ elastic strap that can be positioned at all different places on the harness
connect the lat and ant suspension strap so that they become one with the use of this elastic strap. Use a buckle to attach.

39
Q

Chest Strap with Shoulder Saddle?

A

heavy duty harness for lifting over the shoulder
CAS is posterior
does not capture much excursion like the fig of 8
ADD a strap like the cross back strap to hold the it more inferior
CAS is high and lateral on the shoulder, less excursion
can make the saddle longer to adjust
NOT good for short limb

40
Q

Cross Back Strap:

A

kyphotic posture or where you are trying to keep the CAS harness more inferior
easy donning
only use on the figure of 8 harness and made of elastic.

41
Q

Z- strap Modification:

A

one continuous strap
alternate to figure 8 harness
advantage > non elastic captures more excursion
disadvantage > donning, use for shorter limb amputees
keeps the harness from moving inferior

42
Q

Hessing Loop?

A 
can be used in transradial level, wider, broader, more rigid pad
to relieve axilla pressure
spreads the loading over the chestwall
cut out for the lats
made of all types of materials
43
Q

Lateral “Y” Strap?

A

deltoid region (cutout over the shoulder)
alteration to the lateral strap
split it and attach to the anterior and posterior wings of the scapula

44
Q

45.Lateral “Y” Strap?

A

use with a patient with a longer limb (increase the ROM)
use on shorter limb
Expanded crosspoint strap & dual ring: good alternative for standard fig 8, the CAS more inferior capture more excursion . Lowering the CAS and it makes the axilla loop larger, less pressure.

45
Q
  1. How do you improve ROM for the very short transradial amputee?:
A

SAUDER modification cut out the olecranon;allows for more flexion; high trimlines will hinder ROM
Bilateral individuals has an endoskeletal extension screwed into the base unit at the end of the socket,wrist unit to allow the flexion takes place at the socket (forearm)and not at the TD
preflexion,geared step-up,sliding step-up S.A.L.H > stump activating locking hinge
polycentric

46
Q

2.When using multiple action hinges, what are the options available for cabling and harnessing?

A

Bowden Single Control.

47
Q
  1. geared step-up hinges?
  2. Siding step-up hinge: socket does not stick out as much with elbow flexion, better for cosmesis, bilateral transradial with short residual limb and limited ROM

50.Split housing Fair Lead (can use all hinges EXCEPT for SALH) reduce the force on the forearm: S.A.L.H: extremely short (less than 1.5”) residual limb,
bilateral, limited ROM and strength, flexion and extension of the armlock the elbow when flexed/extends and does not raise the forearm, housing is split so when flex the shoulder it brings the forearm up and flex the limb that locks/unlocks the elbow

A

2:1 ratio, 1 elbow felxion 2 of forearm flexion, twice as much force to lift the arm, bilateral transradial with short residual limb and limited ROM (last resort to use) takes twice as much effort on a short residual limb we can use split housing if we wanted to use this hinge.

48
Q

50.Split housing Fair Lead (can use all hinges EXCEPT for SALH) reduce the force on the forearm?

A

S.A.L.H: extremely short (less than 1.5”) residual limb,
bilateral, limited ROM and strength, flexion and extension of the armlock the elbow when flexed/extends and does not raise the forearm, housing is split so when flex the shoulder it brings the forearm up and flex the limb that locks/unlocks the elbow

Q

Which of the following is needed for a second retainer?

A

This pertains to a very short residual transhumeral limb. A proximal base plate retainer- where is the initial placement; decrease excursion as possible you would need to add an additional retainer ( but then the efficiency would be diminished)

67
Q

Which of the following will make the TD (terminal device) open prematurely?

A

At the transradial level the control attachment strap is too tight. Transhumeral - 290 mm forearm is an 11 inch forearm and 290 mm is the magic number- if it was longer it would cause a force problem.
