Orthotics
This ankle-foot orthosis is commonly used to assist dorsiflexion during swing phase in patients with drop foot.
What is a posterior leaf spring AFO?
K-levels are primarily used to determine eligibility for these prosthetic components.
What are prosthetic feet and knees?
This is the body's center of mass projection within the base of support.
What is the center of gravity?
This program provides appointment reminders to patients and allows for easy text-like communication between the patient and the provider.
What is Artera?
This spinal orthosis is commonly prescribed after a stable compression fracture of the thoracic or lumbar spine.
What is a TLSO?
This skin condition is caused by a lack of total contact distally and presents as white & wet initially, but dry & wart-like in late stage
What is verrucous hyperplasia?
During normal gait, this ankle motion occurs immediately after heel strike.
What is plantarflexion?
Compares mobility to that of similar individuals, shows long-term mobility progress and trends and shows satisfaction and quality of life scores.
What is the ME Scorecard?
A ground reaction AFO primarily assists this phase of gait by controlling excessive knee flexion.
What is stance phase?
This socket design for transtibial amputees emphasizes loading through the patellar tendon and pressure-tolerant areas.
What is a PTB socket?
This principle states that every action force results in an equal and opposite reaction force.
What is Newton's Third Law?
For continuous monitoring, outcomes should be collected at this interval during long-term follow-ups.
What is every 6 months?
This type of AFO works best for patients with fluctuating edema.
What is a conventional AFO?
This microprocessor knee feature helps reduce falls by providing resistance during unexpected stance loading.
What is stumble recovery?
This is where the ground reaction force at the knee during initial contact.
What is anterior?
This resource is used for language interpretation and translation and is available by phone call or video call.
What is Akorbi?
In a patient with genu valgum, corrective forces are typically applied at these three locations.
What is the lateral thigh, medial knee, and lateral calf?
A transfemoral amputee demonstrates excessive lateral trunk lean toward the prosthetic side during stance. A likely cause is weakness of these muscles.
What are hip abductors?
In this type of lever, the effort force is applied between the fulcrum and the resistance force. The biceps brachii performing elbow flexion is a classic human example.
What is a third-class lever?
Ambient listening summary, referral summary, and clinical summary are examples of what within CARA
What is clinical narrative?
