Abstract: A prosthesis for an amputated lower leg consisting of an upper part attachable to the remaining lower leg stump, this upper part being attached to an under part provided with an artificial foot. The upper part has a cup-shaped bottom portion which at a number of places along its circumference merges into upwardly directed flexible strips of such lengths that when the leg stump is placed between them they extend up along the leg stump and thigh, the bottom portion and strips forming a holder fitting, with an approximately predetermined and relatively large play, around the bandaged leg stump itself so that this play can be filled with a supporting structure around the leg stump.
