Definition
| foot romval with fat pad attached to distal tib/fib |
|
|
Term
| post op residual limb dressing (Rigid) |
|
Definition
reduces edema, pain, enhances healing, earlier ambulation, decreases shrink time
must be carefully applied cant inspect wound daily |
|
|
Term
| post op residual limb dressing (Soft) |
|
Definition
cheap, light, available easy to clean
elastic wrap or shrinker garment
poor edema control wrap requires skill frequent reapplication can form tourniquet purchase additional shrinkers with limb shrinkage |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
nonarticulated
most common
durable easy roll over stance
energy absorbing foam and rigid wood interior
allows some PF with initial contact>midstance minimal med/lat movement
cant use over uneven terrain, long distances, or if energy conservation is a concern |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
stationary attachment flexible endoskeleton
similar to SACHS
allows some uneven terrain manueverability
increased rearfoot med/lat motion
heavier more expensive less durable |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
slightly flexible keel
energy store and release with gait
heavier than SACHS |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
carbon fiber band
stores and releases senergy
used in athletics
more expensive |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
articulated
most common
allows PF/DF and toe action
no med/lat motion
B trans fem amputations
more expensive than SACHS |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
articulated
componets function in all planes allowing unever terrain
heavier more expensive |
|
|
Term
| patellar tendon bearing socker |
|
Definition
total contact socket
max distribution of forces assists venous circulation
provides tactile feedback
pressure reliefs at anterior tib, anterior tib. crest, ficular head/neck, fibular nerve
pressure tolerant areas patellar tendon medial tib, tib/fib shafts, distal end of tibia |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| hols prostetic to limb during non WB |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
flexion during late stance/swing
extension during heel strike>foot flat |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
allows some knee rotation
more stable
more complex |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
resists pendulum action during swing
constant friction unit set pressure leave it constant gait speeds
variable friction high friction early/late swing low friction mid swing
hydraulic/pneumatic knee programed to match varying gait speeds younger/active pts
heavier increased maintanence and expense |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
joint behind COG to maintain ext
manual lock to prevent flex "week quads"
foot drag+leg too long |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
pressure senstive areas-distolateral femur, pubic symphasis, femoral triangle, perineal area
pressure tolerant areas- ischial tuberosity, gluteal muscles, lateral thigh |
