A prosthesis (60) is disclosed for improving the gait and comfort qualities of the amputee that participates in walking, running and jumping activities. A foot and an ankle (61) of the prosthesis are monolithically formed as a resilient member including a strut which forms an ankle joint. A hole (62) extends through the resilient member with the periphery of the hole forming an anterior side surface of the strut. The resilient member anterior to the hole includes a gap (63) to permit motion about the ankle joint axis while providing a stop in dorsiflexion. The hole is elongated upwardly such that the strut is upstanding and anterior convexly curved.
