Q

6.What causes anterior proximal and posterior distal redness: Insufficient initial socket flexion
Shoe heel height decreased
Heel lever too short or heel cushion too soft

7.What causes anterior distal tib pressure: A/P too big 
Posterior brim too low 
Insufficient relief 
Excessive use of knee extension 
Heel lever too long 
Excessive initial socket flexion
8.Placement of thigh and corset joint: Average starting point is 2 1/4" superior to the patella tendon 
Slightly posterior 
Joints are tilted anteriorly

9.Resulting pressure of. Aligned knee center: Knee center to distal = anterior distal thigh and posterior proximal thigh pain
Knee center to proximal= knee center placed to proximally

10.Possible causes for TT prosthesis appearing higher than the sound limb when sitting: Posterior trims too high
Insufficient hamstring relief
Incorrect length

A

Insufficient initial socket flexion
Shoe heel height decreased
Heel lever too short or heel cushion too soft

Q

11.Cause of rapid knee flexion?

12.Possible. Amuses of distal limb edema or discoloration: Lack of contact in socket
Short socket

13.What deviation should be expected when converting pervious joint and corset users to PTB style socket: Excessive knee flexion
Medial lateral instability
Patient insecurities

A

Prosthetic socket is placed too far anterior
Heel lever excessively long
Patient heel height is increased
Excessively stiff heel action.
