Shorter sound side step length
Longer stride length
Shorter stride length
3. What is the primary consequence of shearing forces?
*

Limb length discrepancy
Callus formation
None of the above
4. What is the neutral sagittal plane calcaneal angle with the ankle at neutral?
*
10°
20°
30°
40°
5. What is the anticipated limb length loss associated with a TMA?
*
None
1/4" to 3/8"
3/8" to 1/2"
1/2" to 3/4"
6. What material is generally preferred to fabricate the “socket” or distal cushion in a partial foot prosthesis?
*
¼" polypropylene
3/16" polyethylene
1/8" copolymer
Any of the above
7. What is the PRIMARY cause of pediatric partial foot amputations?
*
Congenital
MVA
Lawn mower accident
Cancer
8. What is the predictable result of shearing forces within the foot?
*
Step length discrepancy
Limb length discrepancy
Callus formation
Shorter sound side time in single limb stance
9. What is/are the cause(s) of “apropulsive gait”?
*
Neuromuscular involvement such as CVA
Soft tissue dysfunction such as Achilles tendinopathy
Partial foot amputation such as TMA
All of the above
10. What is the ONLY proven method of controlling shearing forces in a TMA?
*
Tibial tubercle height lever arm
Gauntlet AFO height lever arm
Carbon fiber foot plate
Filler prosthesis
11. In open chain, the anterior tibialis does which of the following?
*
Dorsiflexes
Adducts
Inverts
All of the above
12. The closed chain eccentric function of the tibialis anterior is
*
To decelerate ankle plantarflexion
Identify the need for a dorsiflexion assist AFO
Dorsiflex the ankle in the swing phase
Position the foot for landing at initial contact
13. What is one of the PRIMARY outcomes of managing a TMA with a PLS?
*
Minimize acquired LLD
Decrease in calf circumference and decrease in power crossing the ankle
Resolve all callus formation issues
Restore propulsive lever arm to minimize gait deviations
14. What is the most appropriate method to deal with an acquired bulbous heel deformity?
Patient should wear chukka-boot style shoes
Patient should wear high-top gym shoes
Restore calcaneal angle to or close to 40°
Adhere padding inside shoe collar to hold foot into shoe
15. What is the ratio of upper limb to lower limb congenital amputations?
*

17. Which criteria are required for the center of pressure to extend past the end of the residual limb in patients with trans-metatarsal or higher amputations?
*
An ankle section that resists dorsiflexion
A sufficiently rigid toe plate
An anterior tibial section
All of the above
18. Which is the MAJOR source of energy loss during gait?
*
Friction of foot on contact surface
Collision of foot with floor at initial contact
Eccentric loading of the quads during mid-stance
Propulsion in terminal stance
19. Which motion is NOT a strategy for reducing the collision?
*
Knee flexion
Ankle plantarflexion
Hip abduction
Hip flexion
20. Which criteria MUST be met to allow movement of the center of pressure beyond the end of the residual limb during ambulation following a partial foot amputation?
*
A rigid anterior section
An ankle that resists dorsiflexion
Toe section with sufficient rigidity
All of the above
