prevents knee buckling or excessive knee flexion

6
Q

a metatarsal bar would be used for someone with

subtract 16 inches from patient’s height

measure from 2 inches below axilla to apoint 6 inches in front and 2 inches lateral to the foot

8

Q

heel spurs or plantar fasciitis would use what type of orthosis

A

heel insert

14

AD and bad leg go down first

good leg follows

15
Q

what muscles help to elevate the body to decrease amount of weight bearing for ambulatory aids

A

lower trap

pec major

lats

16
Q

purpose of the Jewett TLSO

A

limits trunk flexion and encourages hyperextension of the spine

17
Q

someone with metatarsalgia would use what type of insert

A

metatarsal pad

metatarsal bar

rocker bar

18
Q

during walking, where should the PT stand

good leg first

AD and bad leg follow together up

24
Q

a rocker bar is used for

A

metatarsalgia

weak PF

25
Q

purpose of SAFE foot

A

allows for walking on moderately uneven terrain because of the greater range of mediolateral motion permitted in the rear foot

26
Q

SACH foot - what motions are allowed

A

PF

small amount of mediolateral and transverse motion

27

in order for patients to use ambulatory aids, patients must be able to…

A

elevate the body by using their UEs

28
Q

for sit-to-stand transfers, where should the PT stand

A

to one side and slightly behind the patient

29

A

DF

PF

(with medial and lateral stability)

34

medial heel wedge

35

A

good side
