Abstract

This article introduces the mechanical design and construction of an exoskeleton, for application in the area of medicine, specifically for the rehabilitation and diagnosis of lower extremity of children patients. In addition, it presents the anatomical planes of the human body and the orthopedic exoskeleton, as well as its anthropometric measurements. In the co-simulation the static and dynamic of the orthopedic exoskeleton is shown, where the strength to which it is subjected is described to see its maximum value, as well as the experimental tests performed on the exoskeleton mounted on a child.
