Rehab Flashcards
(39 cards)
At least one foot in contact with ground at one time.
Walking.
Involves period when neither limb is in contact with the ground.
Running.
Distance between initial swing and initial contact of same limb.
Step.
Period from initial contact to initial contact of the same limb.
Stride.
Each stride comprises ____ steps.
Two.
Stance phase occupies ____% of the gait cycle.
60%
Five parts of stance phase.
- Initial contact
- Loading response
- Midstance
- Terminal stance
- Preswing
The swing phase is ____% of gait cycle.
40%
Swing phase starts here.
Toe off (initial swing).
Center of gravity located here.
Just anterior to T10.
Equinus deformity may cause these two gait patterns.
- Steppage
2. Backward setting of knee (recurvatum)
Hemiplegia may cause this gait pattern.
Prolongation of stance and double-limb support.
Increased energy expenditure from average transtibial amputation.
25%.
Increased energy expenditure or bilateral transtibial amputations.
41%
Increased energy expenditure from transfemoral amputation.
65%
More energy expenditure with bilateral transtibial or transfemoral amputations?
Transfemoral
Load transfer methods for amputation levels.
Direct load transfer – knee or ankle disarticulation. Prosthetic socket needed only for suspension.
Total contact method – requires intimate fit of prosthethesis in 7-10 deg flexion of knee. 5-10 deg adduction, flexion of femur for transfemoral.
Gold standard for vascular inflow measurement.
Transcutaneous partial pressure of oxygen.
Transcutaneous partial pressure of oxygen that will correlates with wound healing.
> 40 mmHg
For body-powered upper extremity prostheses the terminal device is activated by this.
Shoulder flexion and abduction.
Myoelectric upper extremity prostheses are most successful with these amputations.
Midlength transradial.
Articulated dynamic-response foot prostheses allow for these motions.
Inversion/eversion, rotation
Types of dynamic-response foot prostheses (2).
- Articulated
2. Non-articulated
The position of the prosthetic knee in relation to the patient’s line of weight bearing.
Alignment stability.
