“…Although many models have been proposed, few works have explored the possibility of using MRF in biomechatronic systems (Rossi et al, 2018). Since the loads are small in prosthetic devices compared to the loads in automotive suspension and shock absorbers, it is important to design and use models that fit the application of MRF in prostheses (Arteaga et al, 2019b).…”

“…Finally, its linearity accurately exposes the relationship between the damping force and displacement of the device (Xie et al, 2016). Arteaga et al (2019b) showed that the Bingham plastic model is the one that more accurately predicts the dynamic behavior of the fluid MRF-140CG-which is one of the fluids used in prosthetics, according to Table 1.…”

Magnetorheological fluids (MRF) are intelligent materials that can vary their yield stress in response to an applied magnetic field. This characteristic, combined with active and multifunctional control, allows the development of actuators with fast response time, low energy consumption, long service life, and reduced dimensions and weights. Various studies have been conducted to improve MR dampers in prosthetic applications, including knees, ankle-foot, hands, and sockets. Here, we present a critical review of the progress of MRFs in the prosthetic field. In addition, research in prostheses’ design, optimization, and control of magnetorheological actuators is investigated, along with MRF modeling, mode of operation, type of MR actuator, classification, and working principle of MRF-based devices. Although MRFs are considered promising materials for designing novel prosthetic devices, this review shows that applications have been predominantly focused on lower limb prostheses. We conclude by discussing possible future applications and challenges that must be faced to enable and improve commercial applications based on MRF technology.

“…Muscle training with flexibility can be performed with rehabilitation devices and haptic feedback with high transparency and resolution. Oscar Arteaga et al in 2018 presented a study [10] that analyzes the MR fluid MRF-140CG shining light on some of the main and primary properties it presents for its application in robotic prosthesis. Tests were performed with magnet field and dyno shock obtaining as a result a model of dynamic proportions.…”

This research aims to design, characterize, construct, and control a transfemoral prosthesis prototype with magneto-rheological damper to determine its functionality for aiding patients in Honduras. It was possible to design and control a transfemoral prosthesis prototype. Equally, the material (Aluminum) chosen, and the design that was presented meets the appropriate characteristics to resist a weight of an average person from Honduras of 80 kg, since a force of 400 N was applied in each of the parts.
