Q

Multi-axis K2-K4 Indications

A
  1. Uneven terrain
  2. Transverse force reduction
17
Q

Multi-axis K2-K4 Contraindications

A
  1. Weak patients
  2. Level surfaces ambulators
  3. Obese patients 90-130 pound weight limit
18
Q

Hydraulic Benefits

A
  1. Moderate to high energy return
  2. Adjusts to varied surfaces
  3. smoother rollover ohase
19
Q

Hydraulic Drawbacks

A
  1. expensive
  2. Slightly heavier
  3. Not as durable as other models
20
Q

Total Contact Theory

A
  • Pressure is distributed throughout the residual limb
  • Less weight bearing on the patellar tendon
  • All surfaces are in contact with the inner walls
  • Not all parts of the residual limb are taking the load of the body weight
  • Enhances venous return
21
Q

Selective Loading Theory

A
  • identifying areas of the residual limb that are tolerant or intolerant to pressure
  • Load the more tolerant pressure areas
22
Q

What are the pressure tolerant areas of the transtibial Residual Limb

A
  1. Patellar ligament
  2. Anterior compartment
  3. medial tibial flare
  4. Medial shaft of tibia
  5. Posterior compartment
  6. Lateral shaft of fibula
23
Q

What are the pressure Intolerant areas of the Transtibial residual Limb

A
  1. Patella
  2. Lateral tibial flare
  3. Anterior tibial tubercle
  4. Crest of tibia
  5. Distal end of tibia
  6. Head of fibula and peroneal nerve
  7. Distal end of fibula
  8. Hamstring tendons
24
Q

Patellar Tendon Bearing Socket

A
  • One of the most common socket styles
  • Counter balance forces to alleviate pressure over intolerant areas
    -patellar tendon has both horizontal and vertical component of support
  • Can accommodate for fluid changes by using PTB and inner liner
25
Q

Supracondylar Socket

A
  • Socket has a higher medial and lateral walls that extend up and around the patella
  • Adds medial and lateral stability and prevents hyperextension
26
Q

Benefit/Drawbacks of the Supracondylar Socket

A
  • benefit= helpful for those with short residual limbs or with knee instability

Drawback= higher profile socket creates an appearance that some amputees find cosmetically unappealing

27
Q

Total Surface bearing Socket what does it do?

A

Expands on the total contact concept by distributing forces across the entire residual limb
- better sensory feedback
- Improved circulation
- Improved Proprioception

28
Q

Pin Locking Benefits/Drawbacks

A

Benefits
1. ease of donning
2. Can adjust for volume changes
3. Auditory feedback that the pin engaged
4. Pin locks down in socket
Drawbacks
1. Can promote positioning/milking effect during swing

29
Q

Sleeve Suspension Benefits

A
  1. uses a sleeve to maintain suction suspension
  2. Good visual feedback
  3. Basic design
30
Q

Sleeve suspension drawbacks

A
  1. difficult for patient with poor hand dexterity or hand muscle weakness/wasting
  2. Sleeve damage will affect suspension
  3. Can be hot
  4. Can create restriction behind knee if not well donned
  5. problematic with frequent residual limb volume changes
31
Q

Suction suspension what is it?

A
  • A liner or valve
  • air forced out of valve as patient pushes into socket creating suction
  • Secure fit for better proprioception
  • Minimizes pistoning
32
Q

T/F the suction suspension adjust well to patient with volume changes

A

False
- suction suspension does not adjust well to patient with volume changes

33
Q

Elevated Vacuum Suspension What is this???

A
  • Intimate fit
  • consists of a gel liner, suspension sleeve and air evacuation pump
  • Creates negative pressure between the liner and the socket wall
  • Improved proprioception
  • Minimal limb volume fluctuation
  • Improved blood flow
  • decreases sheer forces
  • motorized pump
34
Q

Prosthetic socks need to be —- beyond the — of the sock

A
  • 2 inches
  • beyond
