Gait
Alignment
Extra
100
any device that replaces a part, or all, of an absent body segment.
What is a prosthesis
100
An alloy of iron and chromium which is corrosion resistant.
What is stainless steel?
100
The Subphase of Gait during which the limb advances through flat foot and excepts all the weight while the contralateral limb is in swing phase
What is midstance?
100
The three types of alignment.
What is Bench Alignment, Static Alignment, Dynamic Alignment
100
This shape represents length in a patient assessment form.
What is a rectangle?
200
This professional provides patient care to patients with disabling conditions of the neuromuscular-skeletal structures of the body
What is an Orthotist
200
This material is becoming more prevalent than traditional materials in P&O because of it is lightweight, and has good cosmesis and hygiene.
What is plastic?
200
Initial contact of one foot to initial contact of the other foot.
What is a step?
200
The alignment performed while the patient is standing in the device.
What is Static alignment?
200
Another term for external rotation of the foot?
What is Toe Out?
300
The most common level of amputation.
What is transtibial?
300
This material can be reheated and remolded repeatedly and can be divided into high temperature and low temperature.
What is thermoplastic?
300
This is the subphase during which the limb decelerates for Initial Contact
What is Terminal Swing?
300
The typical amount of the anterior socket shift during initial transtibial sagittal plane alignment.
What is 1 cm?
300
The material's ability to be stretched.
What is ductility?
400
A neck brace or collar.
What is a cervical orthosis?
400
This material is used for custom liners and is beneficial especially for patients with severe scarring.
What is silicone?
400
These are the two main phases of gait
What are stance and swing phase?
400
In addition to standard practice, these two considerations must be made when performing bench alignment.
What are assessment forms and manufacture's specifications.
400
The measurement of the number of steps per unit of time.
What is Cadence?
500
An amputation done between the neck and the shoulder.
What is forequarter?
500
The resistance of a material to deflection or movement. (Flexibility and shape are considered)
What is stiffness?
500
Another term for initial contact.
What is Heel Strike?
500
The name of the mid-point drawn on the lateral aspect of the socket running from the PTB to just distal to the popliteal shelf.
What is the anterior-posterior center of socket?
500
The transfemoral amputee athlete who attempted to run across Canada to raise money for cancer awareness.
