Prosthetic gait deviations
Cards in this deck (8)
- 1Why can lateral bending occur?Prosthetic:
Short, improper shape of lateral wall, aligned in ABD.
Amputee:
Poor balance, ABD contracutre, ADB weakness on residual limb, hypersensitivity. - 2Why can an ADB gait occur?Prosthetic:
Too long, improper shape of lateral wall, aligned in ABD, excessive knee friction.
Amputee:
ADB contracture, pain in residual limb, weak hip flexors or ABD. - 3Why can circumduction occur?Prosthetic:
Too long, excessive knee friction, socket is too small, excessive plantar flexion.
Amputee:
ABD contracture, weak hip flexors, lack of confidence, pain in residual limb, unable to initiate knee flexion. - 4Why can excessive knee flexion occur during the stance phase of gait?Prosthetic:
Socket set forward, foot set in excessive dorsiflexion, too long.
Amputee:
Knee/hip flexion contracture, pain in residual limb, decreased quad strength. - 5Why can vaulting occur?Prosthetic:
Too long, inadequate socket, foot in excessive plantar flexion.
Amputee:
Discomfort, fear of using prosthetic, short residual limb, pain. - 6Why can rotation of the forefoot occur at heel strike of gait?Prosthetic:
Loose fitting socket.
Amputee:
Poor muscle control, weak medial rotators, short residual limb. - 7Why can trunk flexion occur during gait?Prosthetic:
Socket is too big or knee instability
Amputee:
Hip flexion contracture, weak hip extensors, inability to initiate knee flexion - 8Why can medial/lateral whip occur during gait?Prosthetic:
Excessive rotation of the knee, tight socket, improper alignment of prosthetic.
Amputee:
Weak hip rotators or knee instability
