Many rehabilitation robots execute prescribed motions using reactive tracking controllers that do not explicitly incorporate the user's instantaneous human-ground interaction. This paper presents Ground Reaction Force-Aware Model Predictive Control (GRF-MPC), a framework for upright physical assistance. By integrating live GRF and center of pressure (CoP) measurements directly into a human centroidal dynamics model, GRF-MPC formulates a real-time quadratic program (QP) that optimizes assistive forces and moments over a receding horizon. We deployed GRF-MPC on the Robotic Upright Stand Trainer (RobUST) in an underactuated 4-cable configuration and evaluated it against a fully actuated 8-cable Cartesian impedance baseline in nearly 300 trials across six healthy participants. Across tasks spanning impulsive perturbations, lunge trajectories, and voluntary limits of stability, GRF-MPC reduced peak planar center-of-mass (CoM) error by 19.6% during perturbations, lowered trajectory tracking error by 24.1%, required 28.7% less net mechanical work, and permitted a 45.9% greater normalized voluntary excursion area. The underlying QP solves in under 1 ms, comfortably enabling 100 Hz replanning and demonstrating that incorporating live human-ground interaction into predictive control yields stronger, more transparent physical assistance with half the actuators.
