Transtib prosthetic causes
vaulting
long prosthesis, excessive PF, poor suspension
Toe drag
weak hip extensors/abductors, poor posture, gait habit
circumducted gait
long prosthesis, friction knee, excessive pf, inadequate suspension
weak hip abductors
normal socket flexion
5-10
drop off
excessive DF, short toe lever, excessive socket flexion
varus moment
narrow base, improper balance, weak knee/LCL
abducted gait
long prosthesis, medial wall too high, femoral instability (not correct adduction of socket)
medial whip
externally rotated foot, not put on properly
socket degree with contracture
5 past contrature
short step
pain in socket, excessive pf, insufficient socket flexion, long toe lever
lateral side bend
weak glut med/min
lateral whip
lateral whip
not put on properly, IR of knee, tight hip flexors/adductors/internal rotators
normal ER
5-7 degrees
valgus moment
What could be one intervention of excessive PF gait?
raise heel
heel rise
insufficient knee friction, inadequate knee extension aid, improper knee selection
what intervention would you do with someone knee instability
strengthen hip flexors/extensors
normal adduction
5-7 degrees
If a pt came in reported a fall, what gait deviation might you observe?
internal rotation of the foot
External rotation of the foot can lead to what other gait deviation?
medial whip
knee instability
excessive df, insufficient socket flexion, posterior baseline,
what intervention would you do with circumducted gait
strengthen adductors and hip flexors
normal knee ER
3-5 degrees
