The foot is made by Otto Bock. It is called the Axtion. It is what is called a dynamic foot. It is a dynamic foot because it is strong and allows for high level activity. It is chiefly made of to carbon fiber pads with a heel piece. I attached a description here.

You are active, dynamic, and always on the go. You enjoy playing basketball and taking on physical challenges. In that case, the 1E56 Axtion® foot may be the ideal complement to your prosthesis system. We developed the Axtion® especially for active persons with a body weight of up to 125 kilograms. It is also ideally suited for people with a long residual limb.
High-Quality Materials Increase the Level of Wearer Comfort

Due to its innovative construction and high-quality, carbon fiber construction, the Axtion® offers many advantages for daily use. The heel impact is cushioned to create a soft rollover. Therefore you move more easily and securely, and do not tire as quickly. In addition, the stump is relieved.
When you start the next step, the Axtion® actively supports you. It provides excellent energy return in the forefoot for a more even, natural and dynamic gait pattern. Therefore sporting activities such as tennis, which subject you to greater impact stress, are possible. With the Axtion®, you are also more mobile, walk more comfortably, and expend less energy during daily challenges at work and at home.
Due to its low structural height, the Axtion® is ideal for combination with components such as the C-Leg® or Harmony® system. The foot is also light, which increases the level of wearer comfort. The Axtion® was recognized internationally by receiving the reddot design award in 2005, the largest design competition in the world.
