• Lateral toes - not much will have to be done to correct, does not cause gait deviations
• Great toes - important to correct to prevent gait deviatoins
• all digits - a filler will need to be inserted to help maintatain stability

What type of amputation is this and what will need to be done to correct the gait deviation?

Lis franc, an amputation between the tarsal bones and the metatarsal

pts will present w/ a flat arch, or an equinous deformity to correct the patient will need a cross between an orthoses and a prosthesisi w/ a toe filler

What is a transmetatarsal amputation and what will be needed to correct the gait deformity?

[image]

• an amputation of the met heads
• gait deviation: anterior drop, COG drop at terminal stance
• To correct: arch support with filler

What is a chopart amputation and how is it corrected?

[image]

an amputation between the

talus and the tarsal bones

• creates a muscle imbalance
• because the foot is so short you will need a boot style AFO

[image]

an amputation that transects the heel vertically

(not very functional, leaves very short lever arm)

an amputation that separates

the heel top to bottom

(not very functional, leaves very short lever arm)

What type of amputation is

this and how is it corrected?

symes - a disarticulation that retains the fat pad

• corrected with an AFO that will either have a medial door, posterior door, or not door at all, just a flexible inner liner

• minimal instruction needed
  • focus on propper weight shift and re-centering their weight over the prosthesis
• Teach donning
• Work with very functional training techniques
