TT Troubleshooting Flashcards
(10 cards)
1
Q
Lateral & distal redness
A
- socket too large
* add socks, or pads
2
Q
Proximal lateral & Distal medial redness
A
- adducted socket
- abduct socket
- socket ML too large
- add ML pads @ condyle
- foot too outset
- inset foot
3
Q
Anterior proximal & posterior distal pressure/redness
A
- insufficient initial socket flexion
- shoe change w/ decreased heel height
- heel lever too short / toe lever too long
- heel bumper cushion too soft
4
Q
Patient bottoming out/vericose hyperplasia
A
- Pt decreased limb volume
- inappropriate sock ply
- socket made too big initially
- lack of distal contact
5
Q
Fib Head Redness
A
- greater proximal pressure than distal pressure
- inadequate relief built into socket
- inappropriate donning of liner
6
Q
Anterior Pain/pressure & distal lateral pressure (heel of pt is off the ground)
A
- insufficient socket flexion/PF foot (causes pt to hyperextend in stance so the compensate with hyperflexion
- Flex socket
7
Q
Proximal medial pressure & distal lateral pressure
varus moment
A
- foot too inset
- socket too abducted
- shift socket medially
- adduct socket
8
Q
Distal medial pressure, proximal lateral pressure
valgus moment
A
- foot too outset
- socket too adducted
- shift socket laterally
- abduct socket
9
Q
Proximal patella pain, distal posterior pain
pt toe coming up on midstance
A
- foot too anterior/socket too posterior to foot
- heel cushion too soft
- move socket forward
- add firmer heel wedge in px foot
10
Q
Anterior distal tibial pressure
A
- AP too big
- posterior brim too low
- insufficient relief
- excessive use of knee extension
- heel lever too long
- excessive initial socket flexion
