This work presents the development of semiactive knee orthosis prototype that focus to absorb the forces and impacts in this joint during the human gait. This prototype consists of three subsystems: the first is a wireless and portable system capable of measuring the ground reaction forces in the stance phase of the gait cycle, by means of an instrumented insole with force sensing resistors strategically placed on the sole of the foot, an electronic device allows processing and transmit this information via Bluetooth to the control system. The second is a semiactive actuator, which has inside a magnetorheological fluid, highlighting its ability to modify its damping force depending on the intensity of the magnetic field that circulates through the MR fluid. It is regulated by a Proportional Derivative (PD) controller system according to the values of plantar pressure measured by the insole. The third component is a mechanical structure manufactured by 3D printing, which adapts to the morphology of the human leg. This exoskeleton is designed to support the forces on the knee controlling the action of the magnetorheological actuator by ground reaction forces. The purpose of this assistance system is to reduce the forces applied to the knee during the gait cycle, providing support and stability to this joint. The obtained experimental results indicate that the device fulfills the function by reducing 12 % of the impact forces on the user's knee.
