Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptxSatvikaPrasad
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.

This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is a summary of Pneumothorax:
Pneumothorax, also known as a collapsed lung, is a condition that occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall. This air buildup puts pressure on the lung, preventing it from expanding fully when you breathe. A pneumothorax can cause a complete or partial collapse of the lung.
This particular slides consist of- what is hypotension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.

Managing Your Prosthesis
2. sunshinepando.com 1700 Route 23 North - Suite 180 Wayne NJ 07470 973.696.8100
These are some of the most frequently
asked questions about managing a
prosthesis.
Please refer to them to save you time and
concern .
3. My residual limb skin is chafing or dry –
Oils and lotions such as mineral oil and Aloe Vera
may be integrated within the gel liner to help
prevent drying and chafing of the skin.
sunshinepando.com 1700 Route 23 North - Suite 180 Wayne NJ 07470 973.696.8100
4. My stump is red (irritated) who should I call? –
If the stump has redness which persists for more
than 15 minutes after removal of the prosthesis,
call your physician or prosthetist.
• Have you been moisturizing it with mineral
oil or aloe vera at night? (when you are
not wearing your prosthesis)
• Have you rinsed your sock/liner thoroughly
to make sure any detergent is removed?
• Even if you use a mild soap, any residue can
cause irritation.
• Are you wearing the right thickness of sock?
• Is there air at the stump end of your liner
when you put it on?
sunshinepando.com 1700 Route 23 North - Suite 180 Wayne NJ 07470 973.696.8100
5. My socks are stretched –
• Have you been washing them daily (following the
manufacturer’s recommendations)? Wearing a
sock stretches it and perspiration hardens it.
• If you’re wearing a wool sock, let it “rest” for
several days after washing so the fibers regain
their natural resiliency and elasticity.
• Liners and shrinkers should be cleansed daily
according to the manufacturer instructions.
sunshinepando.com 1700 Route 23 North - Suite 180 Wayne NJ 07470 973.696.8100
6. sunshinepando.com 1700 Route 23 North - Suite 180 Wayne NJ 07470 973.696.8100
One leg seems longer than the other –
Are you wearing the same heel height your
prosthesis was adjusted for? Your prosthesis
can be designed to accommodate any kind of
shoe, athletic, casual, work, or dress. It will
be fabricated for the heel height best suited
for your daily activities. If you change your
heel height, the prosthesis will not fit
correctly.
7. My socket is loose -
As you walk, the swelling and fluid in your limb will be
pushed up and out of your limb and the socket will
become looser. Ask yourself these questions:
1) Are you wearing the right thickness of socks/liner?
2) Have you lost weight?
3) Is it cold?
4) Have you increased your activity?
5) Are you wearing your prosthetic longer?
Increase your sock ply and see if it makes a difference.
Socket fit should be snug.
sunshinepando.com 1700 Route 23 North - Suite 180 Wayne NJ 07470 973.696.8100
8. It hurts when I walk —
If the socket is too loose, your limb will “bottom out” and you
will feel pain on the bottom of your limb and maybe further up.
Add a sock and see if that helps. Socks will keep your limb from
falling down too deep in the socket. This is important because
reliefs have been made in the socket for sensitive bones, and if
your limb is not in the right place in the socket, these bones will
rub on the inside of the socket and cause pain and sores.
Another important reason why you may experience pain when
you walk is because you are not walking enough. Increase your
activity each day. You need to walk on it to get the most perfect
fit for you. Your prosthetist can make adjustments as you begin
to wear it and walk for longer periods of time. You will also
learn what sock thicknesses you need. These may change during

9. My socket is too tight –
1) Have you been wearing your shrinker when you are
not wearing your prosthesis? Shrinkers are used to
reduce, control or prevent swelling. If your prosthetist
gave you a shrinker, be sure you use it and use it
correctly. Is your shrinker pulled up correctly? They
should be snug enough to apply pressure to the soft end
of the stump and looser at the thigh. Does your shrinker
slide down while you are wearing it? Check it regularly.

10. My socket is too tight (cont’d) –
2) Fluctuations in residual limb volume can occur
throughout the day or from day to day. It can happen
within a half hour of first donning your prosthesis in the
morning. Adjust the thickness (ply) of your sock. Often,
proper fit is maintained by selecting the proper prosthetic
sock thickness (“ply”). You can combine different sock
plies to thicken or thin the residual limb for fitting into
the socket. Get the right volume without adding too
many socks though, to avoid wrinkles. It’s better to wear
a thicker sock than several thin socks. Wrinkles cause
higher pressure in the wrinkle area and this can injure
your skin.

11. My socket is too tight (cont’d) –
3) Hot weather - In hot and humid weather, the stump
may swell. Holding it under cold shower water at the end
of your shower may help. Immediately dry it off
thoroughly and put on the prosthesis. In about 5-10
minutes, take off the prosthesis and then put it on again.
Alternatively, wear the shrinker while you are out of bed
for an additional 5-10 minutes and then put the
prosthesis on.

12. How do I clean the liner? –
Wash your liner inside and out everyday when you
remove it. Wash it with a gentle soap—do NOT use
bleach, fabric softener or cleaning solutions. After
soaping, rinse it thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
Dry inside and out with a lint-free cloth. Check for any
signs of wear or damage. Do NOT expose the liner to any
glass or carbon fibers or other foreign particles; they can
become embedded in the liner and cause skin damage. If
your liner is exposed to such foreign substances of
chemicals, call your prosthetist. Do not put it on. Do not
expose the liner to excessive heat or sunlight.

13. How should I clean the residual limb? -
It is essential that you clean the residual limb daily with a
mild liquid soap—fragrance and dye free. If the skin is dry,
apply the recommended moisturizer. Do NOT apply the
lotion immediately before donning the liner. Avoid exposure
of the residual limb to household cleaners, perfumes,
deodorants, alcohol, abrasives of soaps which may cause or
contribute to skin irritation.

14. I can’t put on my liner -
When you put (“don”) on your liner:
1) turn the liner inside out and grip it at the closed end,
facing the stump. Be sure the inside of the liner is clean,
dry and free from any foreign objects that may cause skin
irritation.

15. I can’t put on my liner (cont’d) -
2) After exposing as much of the distal (closed) end of the
liner as possible, position it against the residual limb and
with light compression, roll upward onto the limb. Check
that no air pockets are present before continuing to step

care not to damage it with fingernails. Do NOT
tug or pull it.
