B) Distal end of the radius and ulna
C) Distal end of femur bridged with the tibia
D) Humerus bridged with the ulna
A) Tibia bridged with the fibula

feels anterior/distal discomfort in his prosthetic socket. Choose all correct answer(s) to
address this problem:
A) Extend the prosthetic socket
B) Flex the prosthetic socket
C) Add pretibial pads to the prosthetic socket
D) Lower the posterior socket brim
A) Extend the prosthetic socket
C) Add pretibial pads to the prosthetic socket
A below knee amputee is seen in your clinic for a follow up appointment and states he
has posterior knee or hamstring discomfort. Choose all correct answer(s) to address
this problem:
A) Lower the posterior medial brim on the prosthetic socket
B) Extend the prosthetic socket
C) Flex the prosthetic socket
D) Align prosthetic foot more posterior in relation to the prosthetic socket
A) Lower the posterior medial brim on the prosthetic socket
C) Flex the prosthetic socket
D) Align prosthetic foot more posterior in relation to the prosthetic socket
Which level(s) of amputation may lead to an equinus gait deformity:
A) Lisfranc amputation
B) Chopart amputation
C) Symes amputation
D) Transmetatarsal amputation
A) Lisfranc amputation
B) Chopart amputation
D) Transmetatarsal amputation
A below knee amputee presents in clinic wearing a PTB style endoskeletal prosthesis
with general knee pain and distal end pressure. The patient doffs her prosthesis and
liner, upon
examination of her residual limb you note redness on the distal tibia and inferior aspect
of the patella bone. What would be the most logical clinical action(s) you could take at
this point in addressing this problem:
A) Recommend the patient be evaluated for a new liner that will provide better
cushioning to her residual limb

,B) Flex the prosthetic socket while concurrently plantar flexing the prosthetic foot
C) Add a gastroc pad to prosthetic socket
D) Add a 1 ply prosthetic sock over liner
C) Add a gastroc pad to prosthetic socket
D) Add a 1 ply prosthetic sock over liner
Myodesis can be described as:
A) A condition associated with calcification of muscle fibers
B) The suturing and permanent attachment of a muscle to a bone
C) The suturing or permanent attachment of a muscle to another muscle
D) A muscle going through atrophy
B) The suturing and permanent attachment of a muscle to a bone
Which of the following is not part of a Symes amputation procedure:
A) Removal of the malleoli "distal aspect"
B) Placement of thick heel pad
C) Amputation through the articulation of the ankle
D) Transmetatarsal amputation
D) Transmetatarsal amputation
Myoplasty can be described as:
A) A condition associated with the loss of sarcomeres
B) The suturing and permanent attachment of a muscle to a bone
C) The suturing or permanent attachment of a muscle to another muscle
D) A muscle experiencing hypertrophy
C) The suturing or permanent attachment of a muscle to another muscle
What are two advantages in the list below of myodesis over myoplasty with regards to
amputations:
A) Decreased rate of infection related revisions
B) Decreased rate of muscular atrophy
C) Decreased rate of antagonistic muscular imbalances
D) Provides a bulbous distal residual limb for self suspending applications in TT and TF
cases
B) Decreased rate of muscular atrophy
C) Decreased rate of antagonistic muscular imbalances
During normal heel strike, the forward hip is how flexed:
A) neutral
B) 10 deg flexed
C) 25 deg flexed
D) 40 deg flexed
C) 25 deg flexed
Which style of muscular tissue management in an TH amputation would be of greatest
advantage to a myoelectric prosthesis candidate:
A) Myodesis
B) Myoplasty
A) Myodesis
A TF patient is seen in clinic that exhibits lateral/proximal loss of contact in stance.
Upon
prosthetic fit examination it is noted the lateral wall is superior to the greater trochanter,

, the
anterior wall contours to the adductor longus tendon, the posterior socket does not
encompass the ischial tuberosity, the medial wall is located 65mm inferior to the
perineum.
What do you attribute to the cause of this deviation:
A) The posterior wall does not have ischial containment
B) The lateral wall is located too proximal for an ischial containment socket
C) The patient is causing the deviation from antalgic gait secondary to adductor longus
tendon socket pressure
D) The medial wall is located too far inferior to the perineum
D) The medial wall is located too far inferior to the perineum
With a Krukenberg procedure what muscle is the driver of the pincer grip:
A) Supinator
B) Pronator teres
C) Brachioradialis
D) Flexor carpi radialis
B) Pronator teres
What would be a good quality(s) to look for in a prosthetic foot for a TT amputee who is
a
K2 designated household ambulator that utilizes his prosthesis efficiently during the day
but fatigues in the evening and buckles at the knee secondary to quadriceps weakness:
A) Foot that progresses rapidly into plantar flexion during loading response
B) Foot that progresses slowly into plantar flexion during loading response
C) Heel should have a relatively firm durometer
D) Heel should have a relatively soft durometer
A) Foot that progresses rapidly into plantar flexion during loading response
D) Heel should have a relatively soft durometer
Today in clinic a TT patient is seen presenting with a traditional exoskeletal PTB
prosthesis with a SACH foot. Patient states that she feels like the prosthesis is throwing
her
knee forward as soon as the heel firmly contacts the ground. She has worn this
prosthesis comfortably for two years until one month ago. What should be the first
clinical action you should take at this time in the appointment:
A) Plantar flex the prosthetic foot
B) Dorsiflex the prosthetic foot
C) Check to see if the patient switched to a shoe with a higher heel height compared to
what she used to wear
D) Check to see if the patient switched to a shoe with a lower heel height compared to
what she used to wear
C) Check to see if the patient switched to a shoe with a higher heel height compared to
what she used to wear
The Krukenburg procedure is used at times in developing countries where expensive
prosthesis are not attainable. What other patient population(s) would this be potentially
used for:
A) Blind patients with bilateral below elbow amputations
B) Unilateral above elbow amputee
