Transtibial Bench Alignment
The foot should be set in the proper amount of inset found in the evaluation .
When using separate suspension and attachment components, the foot may
be slightly inset 1 – 12 mm depending on the limb length. Short limb lengths
are set with very little inset of 2 – 3 mm and longer limb lengths may tolerate
a greater varus thrust at 10 – 12 mm. The longitudinal axis of the foot will be
externally rotated approximately 5° by aligning the medial border of the foot
with the line of progression .
Transtibial
Bisect the socket in the sagittal
plane
5° of socket flexion, plus any
flexion contracture
A plum-bob or laser line
should bisect the socket and
fall through the junction of the
posterior and middle thirds of
the foot .
5° of toe out
Use the heel height of the
patient's shoe or an equivalent
heel wedge .
Transtibial Static Alignment
Static alignment should always be done inside the parallel bars . They will
sense hydraulic movement of the ankle, but should not feel like they are
falling forward or backward . Use alignment to position the foot where they
feel most balanced .
Symptom
Falling backward
Falling forward
Transfemoral
Follow knee manufacturer's
guidelines for bench alignment
Alignment Change
Shift the foot posterior relative to the socket
Shift the foot anterior relative to the socket
