Question
Answer
Hemipelvectomy and Hip Disarticulation   -All functions of hip,knee,ankle and foot are absent-most common cause is malignancy-does not allow for activation of the prosthesis through a residual limb-prosthetic motion must be initiated through weight bearing  
🗑
Transfemoral amputation   -length of residual limb with regard to leverage and energy expenditure-no ability to wb through the end of the residual limb-susceptible to hip flexion contracture-adaptation required for balance, weight of prosthesis, and energy expenditure  
🗑
knee disarticulation   -loss of all knee/ankle/foot function-residual limb can wb through its end-susceptible to hip flexion contracture-knee axis of the prosthesis is below the natural axis of knee-gait deviations can occur secondary to malalignment of the knee axis  
🗑
transtibial amputation   -loss of ankle/foot functions-residual limb does't allow for wb at end-wb in the prosthesis should be distributed over the total residual limb-patella tendon should be area of primary wb-adaptations required for balance -knee flexion conracture  
🗑
syme's amputation   -loss of all foot fxn-residual limb can wb through its end,is bulbous with non-cosmetic appearance-dog ears must be reduced for proper prosthetic fit-adaptation required for inceased wb of prosthesis-adaptation required due to diminshed toe off  
🗑
neuroma   bundle of nerve endings that group together and can produce pain due to scar tissue, pressure from the prosthesis or tension on the residual limb  
🗑
phantom limb   painless sensation where the patient feels that the limb is still present-seen soon after the amputation and usually subsides with desensitization and prosthetic use-may continue for extended periods of time  
🗑
phantom pain   perception of some form of painful stimuli-pain can be continuous,intermittent,local/general,short-term or permanent-can interfere with successful rehab-treatment: TENS, US, icing, relaxation techniques, desensitization techniques, prosthetic use  
🗑
What motions do you try and promote when you are wrapping an amputation?   -promote full knee extension for transtibial amputations-promote full hip extensions for transfemoral amputations  
🗑
Where do you want to anchor the wrap when you wrap amputations?   -above knee for transtibial amputations-around pelvis for transfemoral amputations  
🗑
What pattern do you want to use to wrap amputations?   -diagonal and angular patterns -do not wrap in circular patterns-elastic wrap should not have any wrinkles  
🗑
Where do you want the pressure to be provided when wrapping ampuations to enhance shaping?   -provide pressure distally to enhance shaping  
🗑
Why must you rewrap amputations frequently?   to maintain adequate pressure  
🗑
How big of elastic wrap whould you use for transtibial and transfemoral amputations and how should you secure the wrap?   3-4 inch for transtibial6 inch for transfemoralsecure wrap with tape, do not use clips  
🗑
