CPM orthotics Exam with precise detailed solutions
|| || || || || ||




UCBL- university of california berkley laboratory trimlines - ✔✔distal to
|| || || || || || || || || ||




metheads, encompass navicular || ||




*If have a full footplate= would piston out of device
|| || || || || || || || ||




UCBL- university of california berkley laboratory correction - ✔✔hindfoot-
|| || || || || || || || ||




inversion of calcaneus to neutral; midfoot- abduct talus by externally rotating
|| || || || || || || || || || ||




tibia and fibula; forefoot- adduct
|| || || ||




UCBL- university of california berkley laboratory indicated - ✔✔child,
|| || || || || || || || ||




pronation/ pes planus || ||




UCBL- university of california berkley laboratory conta-indicated - ✔✔rigid,
|| || || || || || || || ||




pes cavus/ supinated
|| ||




Carlson Modifications - ✔✔Intrinsic medial heel wedge
|| || || || || ||




Extrinsic medial heel post || || ||




Stabilization proximal to base of 5th metatarsal || || || || || ||




Support inferior to sustentaculum tali
|| || || ||




SMO- supramalleolar orthosis trimlines - ✔✔Trimlines : superior to the
|| || || || || || || || || ||




superior border of the malleoli, sulcus or met trimline
|| || || || || || || ||




***If have a full footplate would piston out of device
|| || || || || || || || ||

,2




SMO- supramalleolar orthosis biomechanics - ✔✔increased control in coronal
|| || || || || || || || ||




plane compared to the UCBL, longer lever arm
|| || || || || || ||




Coronal plane control aid in m/l control
|| || || || || ||




SMO- supramalleolar orthosis indications - ✔✔pes planus, control of ankle in
|| || || || || || || || || || ||




coronal plane ||




SMO- supramalleolar orthosis contra-indications - ✔✔ankle sagittal plane
|| || || || || || || ||




weakness (weak dorsiflexors or knee extensors)
|| || || || ||




Control excessive pronation forces - ✔✔1. control calcaneal eversion- medial
|| || || || || || || || || ||




upward force applied to STJ and medial force on the lateral surface of
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||




calcaneous ||




2. support medial arch
|| || ||




3. control forefoot abduction- medial forces on the lateral portion of the 5th
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||




methead and calcaneous; lateral force on the medial portion of the arch
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||




4. control valgus- medial force on the lateral proximal shank and calcaneous;
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||




lateral force above medial malleolus
|| || || || ||




5. control dorsiflexion- posterior force on the anterior proximal shank; anterior
|| || || || || || || || || || ||




force on the posterior leg above malleolli; downward force on the forefoot
|| || || || || || || || || || ||




Control excessive supination forces - ✔✔1. control calcaneal inversion- lateral
|| || || || || || || || || ||




force on the medial proximal surface of the calcaneous and medial force on the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




lateral distal surface of calcaneous
|| || || || ||




2. support transverse arch
|| || ||

,2


3. control forefoot adduction- lateral forces on the medial portion of the 1st
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||




methead and calcaneous; medial force on the lateral surface of the base of the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




5th met || ||




4. control varus- lateral force on the medial proximal shank and calcaneous;
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||




medial force above lateral malleolus
|| || || || ||




5. control plantarflexion- anterior force on the posterior proximal shank;
|| || || || || || || || || ||




posterior force on the anterior instep; upward force on the forefoot
|| || || || || || || || || ||




Solid AFO Trimlines - ✔✔20 mm distal to distal edge of fibular head
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||




Solid AFO indicated - ✔✔high tone, need maximum m/l control, tri-planar
|| || || || || || || || || || ||




problems

High tone: CP || ||




Max m/l control: pronation, inversion/eversion, severe PTTD
|| || || || || ||




Tri-planar problems at ankle: fractures? || || || ||




Solid AFO contra-indicated - ✔✔weak quadriceps (need strong quadriceps to
|| || || || || || || || || ||




resist knee flexion moment at loading response)
|| || || || || ||




why would you use a lateral sabolich trimline - ✔✔change to standard
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||




trimlines you would use for a flexible hindfoot varus within a solid AFO
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||




3 point pressure system for flexible hindfoot varus - ✔✔proximal tibia/ medial
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||




calf, lateral sabolich, medial 1st MTP
|| || || || ||




***Varus and supination have the same 3 point pressure systems
|| || || || || || || || ||

, 2




why would you extend a solid AFO posterior trimline more proximal: -
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||




✔✔longer lever arm to promote knee flexion and decrease hyperextension
|| || || || || || || || ||




***This compromises knee flexion || || ||




GRAFO trimlines - ✔✔anterior proximal encompasses tibial tubercle
|| || || || || || || ||




anteriorly; anterior distal under proximal third of leg; posterior proximal on top
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||




of distal third
|| ||




Footplate is rigid || ||




Solid ankle, full footplate
|| || ||




GRAFO indications - ✔✔crouch gait- mild knee instability (minimum 4/ 5
|| || || || || || || || || || ||




MMT at knee extensors); weak plantar flexors and/or dorsiflexors
|| || || || || || || ||




CP, spina bifida
|| ||




GRAFO contra-indications - ✔✔knee hyperextension ; coronal plane instability
|| || || || || || || ||




, hip or knee contractures
|| || || || ||




what is most likely affected if you observe a patient with a shortened step on
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




sound side (assuming patient is unilaterally involved) - ✔✔plantarflexors
|| || || || || || || || ||




weak/ absent plantarflexors allows dorsiflexors to pull into dorsiflexion= early
|| || || || || || || || || ||




knee flexion and patient will need to catch themselves on contralateral side
|| || || || || || || || || || ||




what type of AFO is used for patient with a tibial nerve lesion - ✔✔AFO with
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




plantar flexion free and dorsiflexion stop
|| || || || ||
