Prosthetics ABC Exam Review question with verified detailed || || || || || || || ||
answers
Prosthetics - ✔✔Science and art involved in treating patients with the use of prostheses
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
(artificial limbs, etc.) || ||
Orthotics - ✔✔Science involved in treating patients with an orthosis (braces)
|| || || || || || || || || ||
Endoskeletal - ✔✔Structural strength from the inside || || || || || ||
EX. Humans are endoskeletal because of bone structure inside
|| || || || || || || ||
EX 2. In prosthetics the pylon and adapters
|| || || || || || ||
Exoskeletal - ✔✔Strength from outside || || || ||
Ex. In prosthetics, a leg with hard laminated outer shell and hollow inside
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
Partial foot amputation - ✔✔Below the ankle joint
|| || || || || || ||
Symes amputation - ✔✔Through the ankle joint, little bone cutting

, 2
Above knee amputation/ transfemoral - ✔✔Between hip joint and knee joint
|| || || || || || || || || ||
Hip disarticulation - ✔✔amputation through hip joint; pelvis intact, no bone cut
