What is SACH foot
100
This patient does not have the ability or potential to ambulate or transfer safely with or without assistance
What is K0 Level
100
In this K Level foot there is increased maintenance associated with moving parts. Is this a benefit or drawback and what K level is it
What is K1 Single Axis Foot and a drawback
100
In this SACH foot cushion heel it may cause: - foot rotation and excessive knee flexion
What is Heel cushion too hard
100
The forefoot lever arm of the trailing limb typically provides _____________support and results in adequate terminal stance support time
What is Anterior
200
This foot provides movement in two directions
What is Single Axis feet
200
This patient has the ability or potential to use the prosthesis for transfers or ambulation on level surfaces at fixed cadence
What is K1 Level
200
This K level offers little energy for toe off, increased cost, increased maintenance and has separate procedure for cosmetic finishing. Is this a benefit or drawback and what K level is it
What is K2 Level Multiaxial foot and a drawback
200
In this SACH foot cushion heel it may cause: - foot slap- absent or insufficient knee flexion
What is Heel cushion too soft
200
During loading in normal gait, knee flexion provides a significant shock absorption mechanism to protect the _____________.
What is Proximal Joints
300
This foot provides movement in three plains
What is Multi-axial feet
300
This patient has the ability or potential for ambulation with the ability to traverse low-level environmental barriers such as curbs, stairs, or uneven surfaces
What is K2 Level
300
This K level foot is for use with an active ambulator & above and will accommodate to uneven ground. Is this a benefit or drawback and what K level is it
What is K3 Level multi-axial and a benefit
300
In this single axis SACH foot what may cause: -foot rotation and excessive knee flexion
What is Plantar flexion bumper too hard
300
The reduced forefoot lever arm also creates abrupt weight transfer to the contralateral side that can reduce what three factors
What is Step length, Stride length, Velocity
400
This foot provides vertical shock and torque absorbing
What is Dynamic response/ Energy storing feet
400
The patient has the ability or potential for ambulation with variable cadence and the ability to traverse most environmental barriers and may have vocational, therapeutic, or exercise activity that demands prosthetic use beyond simple locomotion
