6
Q

Treatment for lateral whip

A

stretch internal rotators: piriformis stretch

gait retaining

7
Q

Prosthetic causes of abducted gait

A

prosthesis too long
medial wall too high
insufficient femoral stability
induces medial whip

8
Q

Amputee causes of abducted gait

A

abduction contracture
poor gait habit, patient insecure and desires wide base in belief it will increase stability
pelvic instability

9
Q

Treatment of abducted gait

A

seated/standing abductor stretch
gait re-training focusing on BOS in p-bars for patient stability
strengthening of abductors (clams, donkey kicks, fire hydrants)

10
Q

Prosthetic causes of circumducted gait

A

long prosthesis
excessive knee friction
excessive knee stability

11
Q

Amputee causes of circumducted gait

A

lack of cofidence in flexing knee
abduction contracture
weak hip flexors
habit

12
Q

Treatment of circumducted gait

A

stretch abductors
strengthen hip flexors (SLR, standing knee flexion and holding)
practice knee flexion in P-bars/gait re-training

13
Q

Prosthetic causes of vaulting

A

long prosthetic
poor suspension
excessive plantarflexion of foot
excessive knee resistance or stability

14
Q

Amputee cause of vaulting

A

gait habit, fear of catching toe
weak hip flexors on residual limb
improper initiation of hip flexors on residual limb

15
Q

Treatment of vaulting

A

strengthen hip flexors of residual limb (SLR, standing knee flexion and hold)
foot ROM: stretch plantarflexors and strengthen dorsiflexors: resisted ROM

16
Q

Prosthetic causes of heel rise

A

inadequate extension aid
insufficient knee friction
improper knee selection

17
Q

Amputee cause of heel rise

A

excessive use of hip flexors to initiate swing phase, overpowering knee unit

18
Q

Treatment of heel rise

A

stretch hip flexors (thomas stretch, standing quad stretch)

strengthen hip extensors (leg 3 way)

19
Q

Prosthetic cause of knee instability

A

excessive dorsiflexion
knee aligned in unstable position
insufficient socket flexion
mal-alignment of foot

20
Q

Amputee causes of knee instability

A

weak hip extensors

hip flexion contracture

21
Q

Treatment of knee instability

A

strengthen hip extensors (leg 3 way, clams)

stretch hip flexors (thomas stretch, standing quad stretch)

22
Q

Prosthetic causes of unequal step length

A

less time of prosthesis

23
Q

Amputee causes of unequal step length

A

excessive lumbar lordosis

24
Q

Treatment of unequal step length

A

pelvic tilt
gait training
strengthen hip extensors/abs

25
Q

Prosthetic causes of foot slap

A

soft plantarflexion bumper

insufficient plantarflexion resistance in prosthetic foot

26
Q

Prosthetic causes of hyperextension of knee

A

Heel cushion too soft; keel or toe lever arm that is too long or too firm

27
Q

Amputee causes of foot slap

A

fear of instability in early stance and wearer forcefully drives heels into ground to ensure knee extension

28
Q

Treatment for foot slap

A

gait retaining to trust prosthetic in P bars
