some movement

difficulty getting pin into shuttle lock

28
Q

some movement –> disadvantages of 3S

A

b/w sleeve and socket

stretching of the sleeve

29

auxiliary strap

30
Q

3S w/ strap (lanyard) system

A

has silicon sleeve like pin/shuttle lock system

silicon sleeve attaches to pt skin

has strap attached to sleeve

has strap attached from sleeve to prosthesis

31
Q

A

vacuum suspension

32
Q

vacuum suction w/ expulsion valve has

A

2 sleeves

33
Q

2 sleeves –> vacuum suction w/ expulsion valve

A

inner sleeve

outer sleeve

34
Q

inner sleeve –> vacuum suction w/ expulsion valve

A

connects to leg

35
Q

outer sleeve –> vacuum suction w/ expulsion valve

A

connects to prosthesis

36
Q

vacuum suction w/ expulsion valve

A

air pushed out

not in one way valve

creates vacuum b/w the 2 sleeves

suction w/ expulsion valve w/ liner that has built in seals

A

gel, silicon or urethane liner

inner liner and outer liner

39
Q

suction w/ expulsion valve w/ liner that has built in seals characteristics

A

one way expulsion valve

negative pressure

creates vacuum b/w inner and outer

40

has pump to remove air

sometimes pump is part of the foot

44
Q

vacuum suspension/elevated suspension has

A

2 sleeves

vacuum b/w the sleeves

45
Q

advantages –> vacuum suspension/elevated suspension
