ANSWERS | GRADED A+
A functional goal for an orthosis should ______. All of the above
During amputation surgery, the surgeon will: Sever the fibula slightly shorter than the tibia
Ms. X is 3 weeks post right transtibial amputation and you are seeing her at home. The limb is
healing well, and Ms. X is active and alert. She is independent in mobility with crutches and
walks in and out of the house. All of the following could be considered essential parts of a home
program except: Resistive exercises for the hip and knee musculature of the non amputated
leg
Which of the following statements is correct concerning differences between the anterior toe-
off ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) and the posterior shell-AFOs? Anterior toe-off AFOs provide
stance phase dorsiflexion resistance and plantar flexion assistance

other is in loading response
In general, vascular surgeons will use which of the following type of flap? Long posterior flap
All of the following may be contributing factors to the failure of an amputation incision to heal
except: Ligation and resection of major nerves
, A patient has a gait impairment that includes a foot drop and excessive inversion at initial
contact. These impairments cause an inefficient gait and falls. The patient will be fit with a
conventional double-upright ankle-foot orthosis. Which of the following orthotic components
will help to control the unwanted excessive inversion at initial contact? A single axis ankle
joint and a T- strap attached to the lateral side of the shoe

An individual learning to walk with a patellar tendon-bearing (PTB) prosthesis must learn to:
Allow the knee to flex from heel to strike to midstance
In the preprosthetic period, crutch walking is better than walker ambulation for an individual
with a unilateral lower limb amputation because: Crutch walking helps the patient regain
balance and coordination
To help reduce an individual's sense of depression and fear of the future, it is advisable to:
Answer the patients questions clearly and honestly
A temporary prosthesis is valuable in the rehabilitation of the elderly individual with a
