	Criteria	Comments
1.	Function I identified the patient-centered functional needs and considered methods to assess the prosthesis function/usefulness.	Functional goal(s): Method to evaluate goal(s):
2.	Professionalism I have been prepared for class and provided gentle treatment of the patient. My words, actions, appearance, and body language have been professional.
3.	Safety and Universal Precautions I used universal precautions and have been aware and taken action to reduce risk of injury to myself and others
4.	Bench test I performed the bench test and calculated the control system efficiency. Control system efficiency >80% F TD/Harness I checked the operation of the housing and cable while off the patient.	Operation and setup of housing and cable Efficiency =
5.	Socket Fit
5a.	CHECK Condition of residual limb before casting or fitting socket! Skin condition Measurements (circumferences, elbow ROM) Anatomical landmarks
5b.	TISSUE FIT I recognize how tissue fits within the socket.
5c.	TRIMLINES AND ROM I measured the ROM with and without the socket. I know the proper location of the trimlines. I can explain the reasoning for the location of the trimlines.	Elbow flexion ROM = Elbow extension ROM = Transverse rotation ROM = Trimline location
5d.	STABILITY/LOAD TESTS I performed all the stability and load tests. I can describe the locations of anticipated pressures.	Elbow extension Elbow flexion Transverse rotation Axial Compression Axial load <1” (2.5cm)
5e.	OVERALL SOCKET FIT · I have identified areas of high pressure.	Distributed pressures
	· I used the socket comfort scale to assess socket comfort from the patient’s perspective.	Socket Comfort Score =

			Comments
6.	Joint axis location I can locate the joint axis. The hinges fall through joint center through ROM	Joint axis:
7.	Length of the prosthesis Length reference is marked on socket.	Length:
8.	Alignment Forearm section aligned in the proper pre-flexion angle and palmer and radial cant.	Appropriate alignment:
9.	Harness critique Prosthesis suspends through the anterior strap. Harness and cuff adjusted to achieve as much comfort as possible. All harness standards have been met. Double check static (standing) and dynamic (walking) alignments.	Suspension: Comfort (and cuff): Operation:
10.	Technical Operation of TD I checked and measured the patient’s ability to open and close the TD.	Elbow at 90` TD at waist TD at mouth	mechanical range =
11.	Technical quality I fabricated the prosthesis with these qualities: Plastic pulled with good suction, no defects in plastic, smooth and even edges/trimlines, rivets smooth with no sharp edges, straps, and materials clean, pads placed securely
12.	Comprehension I understand the concepts and can explain the fit of function as well as how to solve problems easily and clearly. I can explain the fit and operation of the prosthesis.
