Transradial Project Self-Critique Form
| 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 = |
|
| * | CHECK Condition of residual limb before casting or fitting socket! | ||
| 5. | Socket Fit | ||
| ANATOMICAL LANDMARKS
· I can properly locate all anatomical landmarks: medial and lateral epicondyles, olecranon, distal end of radius and ulna, biceps tendon |
Located? | ||
| TISSUE FIT
· I recognize how tissue fits within the socket. |
|||
|
|
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 |
|
| 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) |
||
| 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. |
