Question 1

A prosthetist is conducting a physical assessment on a patient with a transfemoral amputation. Which clinical assessment test is most appropriate to evaluate the presence and severity of a hip flexion contracture?

Thomas test Trendelenburg test Ober's test Lachman test

Correct Answer:

Thomas test

Question 2

During the palpation of a transtibial residual limb, which anatomical area must be identified as pressure-sensitive, requiring relief in a standard patellar tendon-bearing (PTB) socket?

Patellar tendon Anterior crest of the tibia Medial tibial flare Fibular shaft

Correct Answer:

Anterior crest of the tibia

Question 3

A patient presents with a conical-shaped transfemoral residual limb. What is the clinical implication of this shape during socket design and fitting?

Greater soft tissue redundancy, requiring aggressive compression of the proximal tissues to prevent skeletal migration Reduced distal circumference relative to proximal, facilitating easier entry but increasing the risk of distal voiding and skin breakdown if not appropriately contoured An anatomical shape that is highly resistant to rotational forces, allowing the use of simpler, non-conforming suspension systems A shape indicating acute postoperative edema, which requires postponing casting until it stabilizes into a cylindrical shape

Correct Answer:

Reduced distal circumference relative to proximal, facilitating easier entry but increasing the risk of distal voiding and skin breakdown if not appropriately contoured

Question 4

When evaluating sensory loss in a patient with a diabetic transtibial amputation, which Semmes-Weinstein monofilament size is the clinical standard to confirm loss of protective sensation?

3.61 monofilament (0.4 grams of force) 4.14 monofilament (1.0 gram of force) 5.07 monofilament (10.0 grams of force) 6.10 monofilament (100.0 grams of force)

Correct Answer:

5.07 monofilament (10.0 grams of force)

Question 5

During the assessment of a bilateral upper limb amputee, what is the primary consideration when evaluating hand dominance and functional tasks?

Hand dominance is irrelevant because bilateral upper limb amputees are trained to be completely symmetrical in their bi-manual controls. Identifying the patient's pre-amputation hand dominance to establish which side will receive a voluntary closing terminal device and which will receive a voluntary opening device. Evaluating residual limb length, range of motion, and muscle strength on both sides to determine which limb can most effectively act as the dominant 'active' system. Ensuring that the shorter residual limb is designated as the dominant limb to maximize its limited leverage through myoelectric amplification.

Correct Answer:

Evaluating residual limb length, range of motion, and muscle strength on both sides to determine which limb can most effectively act as the dominant 'active' system.
