An interface fitting module (10) for fitting the interface portion of an ischial containment socket for an above-knee amputee. The module (10) has a sleeve-like body portion (11) with proximal and distal ends (12 and 13), respectively. At least the proximal end (12) of the body portion (11) is open to receive the residual thigh (15) of an above-knee amputee. Means in the nature of a lap joint (25) are provided selectively to adjust the peripheral dimension of said body portion (11) so that it will circumscribe, and engage, the peripheral thigh (15) to the desired degree. The body portion (11) of the module (10) is sufficiently transparent to permit visual observation as to the conformity between the body portion (1) of the module (10) and the residual thigh (15) received therein. The body portion (11) is made from a material, such as thermoplastic polymeric material, which may be selectively modelled to effect localized conformity of the body portion (11) to the configuration of the residual thigh (15) received within the module (10).
