Stump sock (A sleeve designed to be worn over a residual limb to improve contact between the stump and the socket interface of an external limb prosthesis/orthosis to: 1) provide a cushion for the alleviation of friction; 2) enable a more comfortable and stable use of the prosthesis/orthosis; and 3) function as an aid in the daily fitting of the prosthesis by an amputee patient. It is typically made of textile materials (e.g., wool, cotton). This is a single-patient device that may be reapplied to the patient over a short term (single-use) before being discarded.)
