"medium"transfemoral amputation Ans✓✓✓ 35-60%
"short" transfemoral amputation Ans✓✓✓ <35%
"short" transtibial amputation Ans✓✓✓ < 20%
2 types of feet prosthesis Ans✓✓✓ conventional and dynamic response
(articulated and non-articulated)
ABI associated with DM Ans✓✓✓ >1.3
ABI calculation Ans✓✓✓ Ankle BP/ Brachia BP
ABI for ischemia Ans✓✓✓ <1 (with absent pulses)
,Air splints Ans✓✓✓ For control of edema. Fairly inexpensive. Little training
needed and allows for early ambulation. However air pressure can be
inconsistent.

Characteristics of neuroischemic foot Ans✓✓✓ cool
non-palpable foot pulses
atrophic skin
skin blanching on elevation
skin redness of dependency
worse with rest
ulceration
Characteristics of patella bearing socket Ans✓✓✓ WB on patella; flare of medial
condyle and ant/ med aspect of tibial shaft, pretibial group, and midshaft of
fibula. Promotes WB on patellar tendon by incorporating flexion in design.
