About a prosthetic foot:
"Otto Bock recommends attaching the prosthetic foot/XO Coupler assembly to a check socket using fiberglass casting material. Apply the fiberglass around the circumference of the socket along the full length of the strap to maximize structural integrity when walking the amputee between parallel bars"

Explanation:
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.
Greetings
Maya
