25
Why do some straps attach to the Axilla Loop?
For control | Suspension
26
What is not used for transhumerals at the cross point?
A northwestern ring because it provides too much freedom.
27
What is the anterior support strap also known as?
Elastic suspension strap
28
Where does the anterior support strap originate?
At the cross point
29
Where does the anterior support strap cross through?
The delto-pectoral groove
30
Where does the anterior support strap attach?
The distal anterior humeral section
31
Where is the anterior support strap elastic?
Distal 2/3
32
What is the purpose of the anterior support strap?
Helps suspend prosthesis Helps prevent external rotation Helps "cock" the elbow lock
33
Where does the elbow lock strap originate?
On the upper non-elastic portion of the anterior support strap
34
Where does the distal end of the elbow lock strap attache?
To the elbow lock control cable
35
How much excursion is required of the elbow lock strap?
1.3 cm
36
Where does the lateral support strap originate?
Just posterior to the highest point of the axilla strap
37
Where is the lateral support strap stitched to?
The anterior support strap
38
Where does the lateral support strap attach?
Close to proximal socket trim line
39
What does the lateral support strap do?
Suspends | Helps limit external rotation when control cable engaged
40
Where does the control cable originate?
The cross point
41
Where does the control cable run?
Obliquely downward across the back, mid-scapula
42
What occurs when the control cable is too high?
Not enough cable excusion to operate elbow and TD
43
What occurs when the control cable is too low?
Requires too much force to operate
44
Where does the cross-back strap originate?
Axilla loop close to posterior axillary fold
45
Where does the cross-back strap pass?
Horizontally across the back
46
Where does the cross-back strap terminate?
at the distal end of the control strap just proximal to hanger adjustable buckle
47
What is the purpose of the cross-back strap?
Helps reduce the vertically directed force of the Axillary loop Helps prevent superior migration of cross point Helps keep the control cable in the mid-scapula position
48
What is the challenge of the shoulder saddle harness?
Requires need for excursion in transhumeral
49
When can the shoulder saddle harness be used?
When needing to distribute the forces caused by unusually heavy use.
50
What are the differences for bilateral transhumeral harnessing?
Figure 8 harness has no axillary loop | has over the shoulder strap
51
What is essential for bilateral transhumeral harnessing?
cross back strap
52
Where is the shoulder strap stitched for bilateral tranhumeral harnessing?
To control strap, lateral strap and Anterior support strap
53
What are the transhumeral control motions?
Gleno-humeral flexion | Bi-scapular abduction
54
What are the elbow lock control motions of tranhumerals?
Slight glenohumeral extension Slight gleno-humeral abduction Slight shoulder depression
55
What are the control motions for a shoulder disarticulation?
Bi-scapular abduction
56
How is shoulder disarticulation best harnessed?
By chest strap
57
Where does the chest strap originate for shoulder disarticulations?
Buckle anterior surface of shoulder cap

Where does the elastic suspension strap attach posteriorly?
To the horizontal strap about midline
61
Where does the elastic suspension strap attach anteriorly?
To the proximal surface of the socket shoulder cap
62
Where does the elastic suspension strap pass over?
The shoulder along a diagonal path
63
What does bi-scapular abduction produce and what is it lacking?
Produces good power, but little excursion
64
What can provide increased excursion?
Excursion amplifier
65
Where does the control cable originate for the excursion amplifier?
posterior surface of the socket
66
Where does the excursion amplifier control cable pass through?
A small pulley that is attached to the posterior horizontal harness strap via a hanger
67
Where does the excursion amplifier control cable enter?
The proximal opening of the split housing
68
What changes with the base-plate and retainer for a excursion amplifier?
They are Mounted more proximal than with transhumeral prostheses.
69
How much excurion is produced with 2.5cm of bi-scapular abduction?
5cm excursion
70
For the elbow lock, what makes up the anterior harness?
``` Anterior strap: Superior leg is non-elastic Inferior leg is elastic Control strap: non-elastic elastic ```
71
Where does the control strap originate on the anterior harness of the elbow lock?
On chest strap
72
Where does the non-elastic portion attach of the anterior harness control strap of the elbow lock attach?
The lock control cable
73
Where does the elastic portion of the anterior harness control strap of the elbow lock attach?
The socket midway between the two legs of the bifurcated straps

What control motion is used for the elbow lock?
Bi-scapular adduction
75
What is an option for waste belt lock control strap?
Anchor strap
76
Where does the anchor strap wrap?
Around the waist
77
Where does the control strap attach for the anchor strap?
Obliquely to anchor strap
78
Where does the anchor strap attach?
To the lock control cable on medial socket brim
79
What is the control motion of the anchor strap?
Amputated side shoulder elevation
80
Where is the nudge elbow unlock placed?
With in reach of the patient's chin
81
What is the control motion of the nudge elbow unlock?
