Abstract :
This paper presents how to proceed for CAD modeling and finite element simulation of elements that goes into plantar orthesis families. The research issue is to prototype different types of plantar orthesis families that could be adapted into the orthopedic shoes of some people with different problems of locomotion and/or stability, the aim being to ensure thereby a progressive correction of these disabilities.
