Q

ROM for amputees

A
  • hip and knee ROM
  • ROM required for gait (knee needs 60 degrees flexion for walking, 110 for steps)
  • ROM required for functional mobility
  • pelvic mobility
  • lumbar mobility
  • contralateral ROM

prone lying in pre-prosthetic to avoid hip flexion contracture

Q

strength for amputees

A
  • strength requirements for gait and function mobility/transfers (4/5 for standing)

Q

gait and functional assessment in amputees

A

  • balance - static and dynamic: ABC, AMPpro, TUG, FR
  • CV/endurance: 2 minute or 6 minute walk tests
  • K level: determinant of function/potential function and componentry

Q

goals for amputees

A
  • dependent on prognosis
  • return to previous activity in 4-6 months
  • short term goals: wound care
  • long term goals: sound limb care, hobbies

Q

pre-prosthetic functional mobility goals

A
  • transfers: independence with transfers between WC, bed, chairs
  • WC mobility: independent form a WC level
  • bathroom: transfers from WC <> commode
  • limited household ambulation: modified independent for 50 feet with LRAD
  • stairs: single limb hopping or bumping using LRAD and railings
16
Q

pre-prosthetic residual limb management

A
  • compression for shrinking and shaping: ACE wrapping, rigid removal dressing (cast), Shrinker sock
  • incision/wound management: skin checks for dehiscence, changes, signs of infection, proper healing, dressing
  • collaborate with prosthetist
17
Q

pre-prosthetic residual limb pain management

A
  • pharmaceutical vs non
  • phantom limb sensation/pain: mirror therapy, desensitization techniques (texture, touch, pressure), visual imagery
  • residual limb pain: movement and positioning, compression, habituation and desensitzation
18
Q

post-amputation/pre-prosthetic mobility training

A
  • strength training
  • functional mobility
  • residual limb management
19
Q

prosthetic training phase

A
  • residual limb managment
  • prosthesis management
  • pre-gait training
  • strength and balance training
  • functional mobility
20
Q

clinical indications for gait training with prosthesis

A
  • suffieicnt strength and independence for functional mobility
  • sufficient ROM
  • K3 (household) or K4 (community) predicted by Amputee Mobility Predictor
  • physician clearance for progressive weight bearing - incision is completely healed, compliance with wear schedule
  • well fitting socket with correct alignment
21
Q

progression of gait training activities - amputees

A
  • steps in bars
  • turn and pivoting: don’t pivot on prosthetic - aggravates stump skin
  • resisted gait
  • variable cadence
  • stepping over obstacles
  • lateral and retro-ambulation
  • reactive stepping
22
Q

progression of support - amputees

A
  • parallel bars
  • front wheeled walker
  • bilateral forearm walker
  • bilateral forearm crutches
  • unilateral forearm crutch
  • cane
  • no AD
23
Q

training common deviations and treatment

A
  • trendelenburg, pelvic stability: lateral walking, hip strengthening
  • decreased prosthetic stance time: part practice stance phase, pre-gait
  • poor initiation of gait with pelvis: resisted gait
  • poor weight shift: scales for visual and tactile feedback on weight acceptance, step ups
24
Q

walking with a mechanical knee – TFA

A
  • strong extension of glutes/HS are needed to control knee
  • lateral tilt of trunk is often substituted for correct trunk/pelvic rotation and knee flexion
  • often uneven stride length and rhythm
  • adaptive techniques are often used for descending stairs, ramps, hills
25
Q

benefits of a microprocessor knee (MPK)

A
  • stumble recovery - prevent falls
  • ability to ride the knee down stairs, ramps, rough terrain
  • stability on uneven surfaces
  • controlled sitting and kneeling movements are possible
  • less user concentration on the prosthetsis
  • energy efficient gait with greater symmetry

ability to place weight on knee as it is bending (ride resistance)

26
Q

MPK gait training progression

A
  • parallel bars activities - learning to trust the knee
  • practice riding the knee in standing
  • step length practice
  • weight shift/timing to activate knee - loading the toe, smooth rhythm, equal sound for heel strike
  • later: out of parallel bars, facilitate shoulder rotation, speed changes, flat treadmill
  • advanced skills: stand to sit, stairs, reverse incline on treadmill, ramps
27
Q

criteria for taking the leg home - 2-8 visits depending on progress

A
  • don/doff prosthesis independently and correctly without cuing
  • sit to stand performed independently with use of AD
  • able to stand 2 minutes independently with use of AD - socket tolerance
  • able to ambulate for 100 feet with least restrictive AD on surface compliant with home flooring
  • negotiates a single step with the least restrictive AD independently
  • able to negotiate stairs independently (if stairs at home)
28
Q

osseointegration

A
  • bone anchored prosthesis (BAP)
  • anchoring of a surgical implant by the growth of bone around it without fibrous tissue formation at the interface
  • initially dental implant
29
Q

OI rehab vs socket rehab

A
  • change in expectations
  • myodesis (muscle to bone) vs myoplasty (muscle to muscle)
  • contractures
  • improved biomechanics - glute med function, closed chain, proprioceptive feedback

short residual - good OI candidates

30
