The present work explains the design and numerical simulation of an ankle exoskeleton oriented to elderly users. One of the most injury prone joints due to its irregular ¾ sphere shape is the ankle and elderly people are more prone to suffer injuries in this joint. This problem generates a decrease in muscular resistance on the legs, loss of motor skills, loss of mobile autonomy, etc. For the design of this device, anatomical measurements of a user of this age group were taken to obtain an ergonomic, resistant, and highly reliable mechanical structure. In addition, the design was validated to support a range of user weights between 50 and 80 kg in order to evaluate the reaction of the mechanism within the range of loads generated in relation to the first principal stress, safety coefficient and Von Misses stress, for which the 3D CAD software Autodesk Inventor was used, where it should be noted that these biomechanical calculations on the ankle defined the displacement and rotation angles of the structure. Two materials were also evaluated: ABS and a carbon fiber reinforced polymer. Finally, the designed parts were assembled, with the guarantee that the mobility of the system has been validated through the numerical simulation environment, highlighting that by being generated through 3D printing, manufacturing costs are reduced, allowing them to be accessible and ensuring that more people can benefit from this ankle exoskeleton.
