Nearly 90% of the amputees who use stump socks can be correctly
fitted with a stock size sock because the knitted construction has a
stretch which allows a fitting range. Nevertheless, some measurement
guidelines can be helpful.
 | Measure your limb circumference at the "top" of the socket | |
| Measure the "toe" limb circumference 2 inches up from the bottom | |
| end | ||
| Measure from the bottom end of your stump to the top of your | |
| prosthetic socket. The length of the sock should be 2 to 4 inches more than this measurement depending on the type of fitting and suspension preference. You should not have to pull the amputee sock too taut. |
Use the table below to determine the correct
size sock for your limb.
Typically 2-4" beyond
the top of your
prostheis.
Measure your stump at
the very top of your
prosthesis
Measure 2" up from the
bottom of your stump
