How has a hinge joint been defined in terms of its ability to “resist” movement? Provide a thorough description of a “true” anatomical, Orthotic or Prosthetic hinge joint.
(Hint: “AFO” is not a thorough description)
c) Why might (single) Hinge Joints on a KAFO or prosthesis with Joints and Thigh Lacer induce shear
forces on
the wearer’s skin? How might this be prevented? What could be used to prevent/reduce shear?
