17
Q

What can be used for phantom limb sensation/pain

A

mirror therapy
desensitization techniques

18
Q

5 Clinical indications for gait training

A
  1. sufficient strength and independence for functional mobility
  2. sufficient range of motion
  3. K3 or K4 predicted by amputee mobility predictor
  4. physician clearance for progressive weight bearing
  5. well fitting socket with correct alignment
19
Q

What can be used to promote weight acceptance phase

A

lateral weight shifts
anterior/posterior weight shift
circumduction
avoid postural deviation

20
Q

What is dynamic weight acceptance

A

stepping in place
step ups
proprioception
pregait

21
Q

Pre-gait activities for balance

A

static balance: reaching, trunk twists, single leg stance

dynamic balance: lateral stepping, reactive stepping, altered base of support, altered surface compliance

22
Q

common gait deviation: trendelenburg, pelvic instability

A

hip weakness
decreased confidence in prosthesis

23
Q

decreased prosthetic stance time and associated contralateral step length

A

poor weight shift and weight acceptance onto prosthetic side
impaired hip ROM

24
Q

poor initiation of gait with pelvis

A

decreased trust on initial contact and through stance

25
Q

poor weight shift

A

pain
poor confidence in weight acceptance

26
Q

Best outcome measures

A

AmpPro

27
Q

What criteria needs to be met to disengage knee microprocessor

A

knee in full extension
70% of BW toe load (DF moment)

28
Q

walking with a mechanical knee requires

A
  1. strong extension of glutes/hams to control knee
29
Q

What is the mainbenefit of a microprocessor knee

A

ability to place weight on the knee as it is bending

30
Q

What are other benefits of a microprocessor knee

A

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

31

A

2-8 visits

33
Q

what is the criteria for taking the leg home

A
  1. dons/doffs prosthesis independently and correctly without cueing
  2. sit to stand performed independently with use of AD
  3. able to stand x2 min independently with out use of AD
  4. able to ambulate for 100 feet with least restrictive AD on surface compliant with home flooring
  5. negotiates a single step with the least restrictive AD independently
  6. able to negotiate stairs independently if present in the home
