Abstract
A method for making a mould of an amputation stump, in which the amputation stump is inserted into a liner of a moulding aid, the liner having a longitudinal direction and a circumference, and the liner having an expansion coupling such that when the liner is extended in the longitudinal direction, this necessarily results in a reduction of the circumference.
