Below-knee prosthetic users Is the prosthesis as prescribed?
Is the patient experiencing discomfort while standing with equal weight on each side with the feet 4-6 inches apart?
Is the length of the prosthesis correct?
![Page 17: Clinical Procedures in Prosthetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815e6b550346895dcce9af/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Below-knee prosthetic users Is the knee stable without feeling pushed
into excessive flexion and extension?
Is suspension adequate?
Can the patient sit comfortably with the knee flexed 90deg and shoe flat on the floor?
![Page 18: Clinical Procedures in Prosthetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815e6b550346895dcce9af/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Above-knee prosthetic users Is the ischial tuberosity properly located
within the socket?
Is adductor longus channel properly located in the socket?
Is the knee unit stable on weight bearing?
![Page 19: Clinical Procedures in Prosthetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815e6b550346895dcce9af/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Above-knee prosthetic users Is suspension adequate to minimize pistoning
of the residual limb when prosthesis is raised off the floor
Does the socket maintain its position on the residual limb in sitting?
Do the lengths of the prosthetic leg and thigh section approximate those of the sound side?
![Page 20: Clinical Procedures in Prosthetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815e6b550346895dcce9af/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Above-knee prosthetic users Does the knee remain flexed in sitting?
Does the patient experience pressure on the posterior thigh?

Are the forces appropriately distributed over the residual limb?◦ Discoloration◦ Skin breakdown

Ability of prosthesis to keep up with activities
Balance Transfers Ambulation
◦ Indoor ◦ Outdoor◦ Speed ◦ Stairs

Evaluate skills that the patient need to have in order to perform daily tasks
Frequency of performance of said tasks Measures and considerations with regards
the environment◦ Environmental Ax◦ Barriers?

Ask if patient can do the task and if he can demonstrate
Safety issues
