    Abstract: A method of designing a foot orthosis includes generating a customized digital model by modifying an initial digital model of the orthosis to include a posting structure having a surface profile obtained by applying local displacements to surface points of the initial model. Generating the customized model can include determining a peripheral and a salient portion of the surface profile from first and second subsets of the surface points, respectively; determining, for each point, a value of a first displacement parameter representative of a position of the point relative to the peripheral and salient portions, the peripheral and salient portions being respectively associated with minimum and maximum values of the first parameter, and a value of a second displacement parameter representative of a distance of the surface point from a reference surface; and computing, for each point, the local displacement based on values of the first and second parameters.
