SACH
(page 1366 O'S) - ANSWER solid ankle cushion heel
Purpose of SACH
(page 1366 O'S) - ANSWER to absorb shock and permit plantar flexion in
early stance; allows the foot to hyperextend in late stance; allows a very small
amount of medial-lateral and transverse motion
Transtibial contractures
(page 1015 O'S) - ANSWER knee flexion
Transfemoral contractures
(page 1015 O'S) - ANSWER hip flexion and hid abduction
Manageable contracture
(slide 69;) in amputations PP) - ANSWER 15 degrees or less
Treatment for transtibial contractures
(slide 69;) in amputations PP) - ANSWER spend time in prone
use splint/board in sitting to keep knee extended
PNF stretching
treatment for transfemoral contractures
(slide 70 in amputations PP) - ANSWER emphasize full hip extension and
adduction
prone laying
, avoid prolonged sitting
what to avoid with contractures
(slide 68 in amputations PP) - ANSWER propping residual limb on pillows
prolonged sitting
Muscles needed for strong prosthetic gait with transtibial and transfemoral
amputations
(page 1016 O'S) - ANSWER Hip extensors and abductors
Knees extensors and flexors
Advantages with suction suspensions
(page 1373 O'S) - ANSWER Promotes fluid exchange
moisture buildup
Regulates residual limb volume fluctuations
proprioceptive awareness
advantages with pin and lock suspensions
(page 1373 O'S) - ANSWER prevents prosthesis from slipping during swing
