مريض بعد بتر تحت الركبة. أي وضعية تمنع تيبس المفصل؟

After a below-knee amputation, which position prevents joint contracture?

1. Sit in a chair for long hours with the knee bent
2. Keep a pillow under the stump all day to reduce swelling
3. Avoid pillows under the stump after day one and lie prone at times
4. Hang the stump over the edge of the bed

Answer: C) Avoid pillows under the stump after day one and lie prone at times. After amputation, continuous pillows under the stump are avoided to prevent flexion contracture; prone lying is encouraged and shaping bandages used.
