Zusammenfassung:	An improved cushioned liner (i.e., prosthetic liner) for covering a residual limb of an amputee is provided. According to one embodiment, the cushioned liner includes a sock-shaped fabric body member formed of at least two fabric pieces. One of the fabric pieces is a distal end piece that is attached to at least one other fabric piece along a circumferential edge of the distal end piece. The distal end piece is free of a transverse seam that extends across the distal end piece. The cushioned liner also includes a cushion layer disposed on at least one side of the sock-shaped fabric member. In another embodiment, a liner body having the above construction is provided and is adapted to receive cushioning material to form the cushioned liner. L'invention concerne un manchon rembourré amélioré, à savoir un manchon prothétique, servant à recouvrir le moignon d'une personne amputée. Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le manchon rembourré comprend un élément corps en textile en forme de bas, constitué d'au moins deux pièces de textile. L'une des pièces de textile est un élément terminal distal qui est rattaché à au moins une autre pièce de textile le long d'une arête circonférentielle de l'élément terminal distal. L'élément terminal distal ne comprend pas de couture transversale s'étendant de part en part. Le manchon rembourré comprend également une couche de rembourrage placée sur au moins une face de l'élément de textile en forme de bas. Selon un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, un corps de manchon ayant la structure ci-dessus est adapté afin de recevoir un matériau de rembourrage pour réaliser le manchon rembourré.
