Q

if PF bumper is firm…..

A

it won’t allow for eccentric PF to occur at IC… resulting in quick early stance (increased mobility)

Q

if medial border is raised

A

excessive WB laterally - distolateral pain

26
Q

if patient requires 0.5 inch lift under prosthesis, the following may be deficient:

A

socket too loose
heel on prosthetic too soft
shank too short

27
Q

if patient requires a 0.5 inch lift under sound leg, the following may be deficient:

A

socket too tight
heel too firm (excessive knee flexion)
shank too long

28
Q

anatomic causes of insufficient knee flexion in early stance

A
anterodistal pain
poor balance
extensor synergy
knee extensor contracture
knee extensor weakness
29
Q

prosthetic causes of insufficient knee flexion in early stance

A
heel too low
heel too soft
prosthetic foot in PF
socket in insufficient flexion
socket posterior relative to foot
30
Q

anatomic causes of excessive knee flexion in early stance

A

knee extensor weakness

knee flexor contracture

31
Q

prosthetic causes of excessive knee flexion in early stance

A
heel too high
heel too firm
prosthetic foot in DF
socket in excessive flexion
socket anterior relative to foot
prosthesis too long
32
Q

anatomic/prosthetic causes of early knee flexion in late stance

A

same as excessive knee flexion in early stance except heel cushion/height irrelevant

33
Q

anatomic/prosthetic causes of delayed knee flexion in late stance

A

same as insufficient flexion in early stance; except heel cushion height irrelevant

34
Q

excessive lateral thrust

A

brim shifts laterally - GRF passes medial to the knee
excessive adduction of socket
excessive lateral displacement of socket (foot inset)

35
Q

excessive medial thrust

A

brim shifts medially - GRF passes laterally to knee
socket abduction
medial displacement of the socket - foot outset

36
Q

anterodistal pain causes:

A

insufficient knee flexion, delayed knee flexion

insufficient knee flexion, delayed knee flexion; long prosthetic step

38
Q

extensor synergy causes:

A

insufficient knee flexion, delayed knee flexion

39
Q

hip flexor contracture causes:

A

long prosthetic step

40
Q

knee extensor contracture causes:

A

insufficient knee flexion, delayed knee flexion

41
Q

knee extensor weakness causes:

A

excessive knee flexion, early knee flexion or insufficient knee flexion (as a compensation for keeping GRF anteriorly)

42
Q

knee flexor contractures

A

excessive knee flexion, early knee flexion, long prosthetic step

43
Q

pain in amputation limb causes:

A

long prosthetic step (longer time WBing on sound limb)
