The article presents a multiparametric system for the measurement of selected physical variables required to control the exoskeleton developed at the Biomechanics Lab of the Military Institute of Aviation Medicine. The control of this type of devices is a very complex problem. It requires precise measurements being taken from kinematic segments of both the human wearing the exoskeleton and the exoskeleton itself. The key issues aff ecting the quality of exoskeleton control include the selection of the optimum number of sensors and optimum locations for sensors, as well as the interpretation of physical quantities measured by these sensors.
