week 11 learning objectives Flashcards
prosthetic
artificial body part
residuum/residual limb
remains after amputation
sound side
opposite limb
don/doff
on/off prosthetic
socket
interface between residual limb and prosthesis
terminal device
hand functioning device in upper extremity
suspension
how device attaches to body
force
through body or device, motors
excursion
ROM needed to operate upper extremity prostheses
UE amputation statistics
9% of all patients with amputation
70-80% traumatic
56% of amputees use prostheses
concepts behind UE amputation
cosmesis is more important than function
proficiency with UE prosthesis takes longer
most successful when viewed as tool/AD
functional difficulty proportional to amputation level
UE amputation level
shoulder disarticulation, trans-humeral/elbow disarticulation, trans-radial/wrist disarticulation, trans-metacarpal/partial hand
longer is more pronation/supination
suspension
how prosthesis is attached
power strategies
how you move limb (generate force)
control strategies
how you manipulate devices linked to limb
