POAT- Final Exam
Otto bock C Leg - answerK3 Microprocessor Leg
Otto bock Gonium/X3 Leg - answerK4 microprocessor Leg
What are three reasons a prosthetic device can cause a leg length description? -
answer1. Limb doesn't go into the socket all the way.
2. Wearing a different shoe then when it was fitted
3. Pilon is set too high
Why would a limb not go into the socket of a prosthetic device? - answer too many
socks are being used
weight increase ruins the fit of the device
How does a shoe with a higher heel then the original fitting shoe lead to a leg length
discrepancy? - answer Higher heel increased PF which extends the limb
What 5 gait deviations could result from a leg length discrepancy due to a prosthetic
device? - answer1. Hip Hike
2. Vaulting
3. Trunk Lean
4. Circumduction
5. walk in abduction
A patient with a leg length descrepency would vault off the __________ leg to..... -
answersound side; clear the prosthetic limb
A patient with a leg length descrepency on their R prostetic limb will lean to the
____________ to.... - answerLeft; to clear the prosthetic limb
a medial heel whip is caused by the device being in too much _____________ -
answerExternal Rotation
, A lateral heel whip is caused by the device being in too much ____________ -
answerInternal rotation
Medial heel whip involves..... - answermedial heel turn from toe off through midswing
then lateral turn from midswing to IC
Lateral heel whip involves..... - answerLateral heel turn from toe off through midswing
then a medial turn from midswing to IC
what are two reasons that could lead to a medial or lateral heel whip? - answerPatient
dons the device in to much IR or ER
prostitist sets the device in to much ER or IR
A bilateral BKA expends ________________ more energy then the normal individual -
answer40%
A unilateral AKA expends __________ more energy then the normal individual -
answer60%
What are the benifits of performing a knee disarticulation? - answercreates a wider
stump base for increased stability
Longer lever arm bc the limb is longer
What are the detriments of performing a knee disarticulation? - answerdifficulty in fitting
prosthesis
prosthetic attachments will lengthen the knee creating discrepancy
When first introducing stair climbing/descending we will teach ________________ gait
pattern - answerStep-to
a mechanical above knee amputee will progress stair climing to _______________ -
answerstep to gait only
K-Level 1 - answerability/potential to use prosthesis for transfers and level surface
ambulation
fixed cadence
limited and unlimited household ambulator
K-Level 2 - answerHas the ability or potential for ambulation over low level
environmental barriers
