Stump socks are tubular medical or clothing accessories with a blind end that are
fashioned similar to socks, usually without a heel. They are worn on amputation
stumps for a number of reasons. As stump socks are typically worn on body parts
that do not contain a foot, their definition is distinct from the average sock type garment.
Amputation stumps can be sensitive to cold or heat,particularly as their capacity to
regulate tissue congestion is limited. The skin of amputation stumps can be very
sensitive to allergic, chemical or mechanical irritation and thus may have to be protected.
There are different types of stump socks, some of which are available individually
made to fit, some as industrially manufactured items:
socks with metal fabric that are worn to reduce phantom sensation or pain
compression socks that are worn to reduce tissue congestion or swelling
protective socks or liners that are worn to fit the stump inside a prosthesis
socks that are worn to keep the stump warm socks or liners that contain skin care
products on their inside that are released into the skin.
