type of amputation that occurs across a joint
disarticulation; Symes amputation
PAMS used to promote wound healing for an amputation
whirlpool and massage
how to promote desensitization of a residual limb
weight bearing, massage, tapping, and rubbing
WC characteristics required for a LE amputation
large rear wheels further back and anti-tippers
a realistic nonfunctional hand worn for cosmetic purposes
passive terminal device
body-powered, externally powered, or hybrid-powered hook or realistic-looking hand that assists with functional activities
active terminal device
a ________ is more functional than a _________ because of it’s greater precision, greater visibility of objects being grasped, lesser weight, lower cost, greater reliability, and ability to fit into close quarters
hook; hand
to use a ___________ device, a patient must have 2 superficial muscle sites that can fit within the prosthesis socket with sufficient EMG signals to power the hand
myoelectric device
wearing schedule for a prosthesis should start at _________ minutes then increase in ___________ increments a day if no redness is reported after 20 minutes, until the prosthesis is worn for a full day
15-30
15-30
training on the operation of each component of an upper limb prosthesis
prosthesis control training
training in the integration of prosthesis components for efficient assist during functional use
prosthesis use training
training in the identification of optimal position of each positioning unit to perform an activity or grasp an object
prepositioning training
training in terminal device control during grasp activities
prehension training
training in control and use of the prosthesis during functional activities; incorporates the terminal device and focuses on problem solving
functional training
goal of functional treatment for LE amputations
transfers, bed mobility, WC mobility
3 steps in the treatment of contractures
(1) superficial and deep heat to increase tissue extensibility (2) slow stretch (3) static splinting
splint commonly used for clients with rheumatoid arthritis or cerebral alsy to increase functional use of the hand
soft neoprene splint
diagnosis for fibromyalgia
tenderness in at least 11 of 18 trigger points on the body
evaluation method for fibromyalgia
daily activity log
cognitive aspect of fibromyalgia and treatment method
inability to think clearly; memory aids

cortisone injections
precautions associated with a posterolateral approach to hip replacement
no hip flexion greater than 90°
no internal rotation
no adduction
precautions associated with an anterolateral approach to hip replacement
no external rotation
no extension
to adduction
out of bed activity should occur ___________ post operation for a hip replacement
1-3 days
