not be impaired at the - answerhip joint
With a BK at mid-stance where are the pressures in the socket in the sagittal plane: -
answerproximal/anterior and distal/posterior
What are the main areas of weight bearing in a BK - answerpatella tendon and the
medial tibial flare
For a very short BK why is PTS advantageous - answerLess distal pressures
When static aligning a BK if the pylon leans laterally the cause may be - answertoo
much abduction in the socket
What is the effect of moving the socket more forward over the foot - answerreduces the
length of anterior lever arm of the foot

their insertion is 2 inches from the elbow joint axis? - answer40 x 15=600
600=2x
