A torque absorber for a lower limb prosthesis includes a retaining flange forming a portion of an assembly rotatably mounted in a hollow cylindrical member which may be adapted to receive a skeletal portion of a prosthesis. A resilient portion is bondingly formed about the hollow cylindrical member so that a plastomeric prosthetic socket or the like may be bondingly molded to the resilient portion and the retaining flange for cooperation therebetween to allow limited rotational motion of the prosthetic socket relative the hollow cylindrical member.
