emboîture d'essai

Since nobody has an answer, I finally took some time to look this up.
a check socket seems to be a test instrument for fitting for fitting on amputated knees.

Have a look at the link below. I would call this check socket "emboîture d'essai" ou "fourreau d'essai" in French.

I really hope that helps.
