One of the areas of the body of a basketball player which suffers more injuries is the knee. To generate a rehabilitation plan that will avoid the relapse, it is indispensable that the physician treating the athlete knows the physical magnitudes that generated the injury. That’s why the following investigation proposes the design of a device that allows the indirect measurement of the force generated in the knee of a basketball player that is 1.80 m tall and weights 70 kg when he performs a vertical countermovement jump. The study starts with an investigation of the existing technologies that allows this measurement and it was proven that the biomechanics of the knee is not a topic that has been deeply studied either in theory or experimentally. Then, a methodology combining the theory of Affordances proposed by J. Gibson and a morphological matrix, allowed the creation of a preliminary design. Next, the vertical countermovement jump was simulated in the software OpenSim to determine the reaction force from the ground towards the executer of the movement with respect to time. These results allowed the calculation of the pressure that the device would have to measure. Consequently, compatible pressure sensors were selected for the application. Finally, the equations that relate the parameters measured and the force of the knee were proposed.
