Sockets
If your patient's ML-PML difference measures 15mm, which PTB socket variant would work best for them?
What is PTB-SC (with removable pelite insert)?
This suspension mechanism provides the most aggressive mediolateral stability.
What is joints and corset suspension?
This hamstring tendon has the most distal insertion location.
What is the (medially located) semitendinosus?
Sock interface thickness is described using this term.
This option for transtibial residual limb volume management offers the most effective graded compression but is also the most difficult to don/apply appropriately.
What is ACE wrap?
The implementation of hydrostatic loading is most easily achieved for this level of amputation.
What is transfemoral?
When providing suction suspension along with a cushion liner, the proximal seal is achieved between the patient's thigh and this surface.
What is a (gel) sleeve.
According to the PTB socket design, this aspect of the fibula is considered weight tolerant.
What is the shaft?
If your patient is a good candidate for suction suspension but unwilling to use a sealing sleeve, you would need to use this type of liner in order to achieve a seal.
What is a seal-in liner?
This transtibial amputation procedure involves creating a bone bridge between the tibia and fibula.
What is the Ertl procedure?
If you are providing a PTB-SCSP, you will need to include this unique feature within the socket.
What is a quad (or quadriceps) bar?
This is the most common adverse event reported this far following osseointegration implants.
What is infection?
On a transtibial residual limb, this is the most distally located weight intolerant area identified by PTB socket design.
What is the distal anterior tibia?
This liner material tends to have the lowest coefficient of friction.
What is urethane (polyurethane)?
The State of the Science conference on post-op care identified this clinical concern as having high relative importance through ALL phases of recovery.
What is volume change?
This concept/technique indicates that forces are distributed equally over the entire surface area of the residual limb within a socket.
What is total surface bearing (TSB)?
This suspension mechanism has an advantage of providing audible confirmation of secured suspension.
This aspect of the femur becomes more prominent at the anterior aspect of the knee in a position of 90 degrees of knee flexion.
What are the femoral condyles?
Liners have a tendency to trap moisture and this other thing?
What is heat?
Following a transtibial amputation, it is important to preserve lower limb strength as well as this.
What is (knee) range of motion?
Lack of distal contact on the distal end of the residual limb over a long period of time can result in edema followed by this skin condition.
What is verrucous hyperplasia?
The inside of a socket with passive suction suspension can reach this level of pressure during weight bearing.
What is atmospheric pressure?
A waist belt and fork strap suspends anatomically over what structures?
According to Cagle's article, fabric backing on a gel liner tends to have this effect on tensile stiffness.
What is increase?
What is the most distal aspect of the limb.
