Q

Why would the tibia in the prosthetic limb migrate anteriorly during loading response?

A

The tibia is not completely stabilized within the soft tissue of the residual limb, it will migrate anteriorly towards the surface of the socket, yet must be stabilized as much as possible by the design of the socket

22
Q

What should the tibia be like during mid-stance with a prosthetic?

A

In a neutral position within the socket and full vertical axial weight bearing support of the residual limb occuring

23
Q

Where is the CoP during terminal stance with a prosthetic?

A

It moves anteriorly toward the meta-tarsal are and toe region of the foot

24
Q

Where is the GRFV during terminal stance with a prosthetic?

A

Anterior to the knee, which will cause a posteriorly directed knee extension moment

25
Q

What muscle actions are happening during terminal stance with a prosthetic?

A

Hamstrings are activated and flexes the residual limb in the socket. This motion will pull the body over the foot and overcomes the knee extension moment as the “sound” foot reaches the floor

26
Q

Where is body weight transferred to during pre-swing with a prosthetic?

A

The “sound” foot

27
Q

Where is the CoP during pre-swing with a prosthetic?

A

Continues to move anteriorly to whatever portion of the foot is still on the ground

28
Q

Where is the GRFV during pre-swing with a prosthetic?

A

Moves posterior to the knee joint and will cause a significant knee flexion moment

29
Q

What muscle actions are happening during pre-swing with a prosthetic?

A

To keep from dropping off the end of the toe, the patient will contract their quads and extend their limb within the socket.

30
Q

What should the tibia be like during pre-swing with a prosthetic?

A

Anterior

31
Q

What assist in moving the limb forward during pre-swing?

A

Pelvic rotation and hip flexion

___ is the most weight tolerant region of the transfemoral limb

A

The ischial tuberosity is the most weight tolerant region of the transfemoral limb

33
Q

What are the characteristics of weight bearing region of the

transfemoral limb: femoral triangle?

A
  • Anterior
  • Can be lightly used as a stabilization point of the limb within the socket

Q

What are the characteristics of weight bearing region of the

transfemoral limb: lateral shaft of the femur?

A
  • Primary region used to establish coronal stability of the residual limb within the socket
  • Pressure is applied beginning distal to the greater trochanter, all along the shaft, and stops just proximal to the distal lateral femur
