All 7 questions answered at MPT topper level. Here's a quick navigation guide:

Quick Reference Summary

Q1 - Transhumeral Amputation Management (30M)

3 phases covered: Pre-prosthetic rehab → Prosthetic prescription → Prosthetic training. Key points: hybrid prosthesis is the gold standard for transhumeral, TMR improves myoelectric control, adolescent-specific concerns (growth, socket replacement frequency, non-dominant limb advantage, abandonment prevention).

Q2 - Types of Prosthetic Hands (10M)

6 categories: Passive/cosmetic → Body-powered hook → Body-powered hand → Single-grip myoelectric → Multi-grip (iLimb/Bebionic) → Activity-specific. Plus recent advances: Pattern recognition, TMR, RPNI, Osseointegration, Sensory feedback hands.

Q3 - PTB Prosthesis (10M)

Full breakdown: Load-bearing vs. pressure-sensitive areas (draw this diagram!), 5 socket variants (PTB, SC, SC/SP, PTS, KBM), all 5 suspension systems with rationale, pylon types, foot types, plus modern shift to TSB.

Q4 - Above-Knee Prosthesis (10M)

Components: Quadrilateral vs. ischial containment socket, 6 suspension types, prosthetic knee comparison table (constant-friction → MPK), alignment principles, gait deviation correction table.

Q5 - Prescription Criteria for AK Amputee (10M)

K0-K4 classification table + 6 clinical assessment domains + summary prescription table by patient profile.

Q6 & Q7 - Transtibial Prostheses / Rationale in BK Amputation (10M each)

Complete component-by-component rationale: socket (PTB vs TSB vs SC), liners, 5 suspension systems, exo vs endoskeletal pylon, 5 foot types with advantages/disadvantages/prescription indication (SACH → Single-axis → Multi-axial → ESF/dynamic → Microprocessor-controlled). Recent advances: VASS, bionic ankles, 3D printing, osseointegration.
