What would the problem be with the prosthetic if a patient demonstrated Lateral Bend?
Prosthetic too long
High lateral Wall
Prosthetic too short
Poor Balance
Check All of the following in which are true of a patient experiencing and Abducted gait due to a prosthetic impairment:
High medial wall
High Lateral wall
Too long
excessive PF
Inadequate suspension
stiff heel
Excessive Knee friction
positioned in Abd
Positioned too far posterior
poorly shaped lateral wall
If a persons prosthetic socket is too small, what type of gait deviation (s) might they experience?
Medial/Lateral Whip
Vaulting
Circumduction
Forward Trunk Flexion
Both Vaulting and Medial/Lateral WHip
None of the above
A person experiencing a vaulting gait may have their foot in excessive DF
A person with a forward trunk flexion gait could attribute this to all the following except:
Excessive toe out
Knee instability
Poor suspension
Socket too big
A person has a prosthesis that is too long, check all of the gait deviations the patient might present with:
forward flexed
Abd gait
medial/lateral whip
vaulting
circumducted gait
excessive knee flexion during stance
All of the following are possible causes for a person to display excessive knee flexion during stance . Socket too far forward Foot in excessive PF stiff heel too long
Rotation of forefoot at heel strike can be caused by which prosthetic element?
inadequate suspension
excessive knee friction
inadequate toe out angle
Having a high medial wall, positioned in abduction, and an improperly shaped lateral wall are indicative of bother lateral bending and abducted gait
