CA 2564333

Embodiments of the invention relate to walking/running braces and to devices for enhancing locomotion, specifically human bipedal locomotion. More particularly, it relates to a controlled mechanical device which provides support of the torso via the hip sockets, reduces the metabolic energy associated with walking/running and reduces the incidence of falls caused by insufficient leg thrust. Embodiments of the invention also relates to reducing the strain and metabolic energy consumption associated with walking/running with a heavy backpack or other significant carried load.

Dans diverses formes de réalisation, la présente invention porte sur des attelles de marche/course et des dispositifs destinés à faciliter la locomotion, et spécifiquement la locomotion bipède humaine. L'invention concerne plus particulièrement un dispositif mécanique régulé qui offre un support au torse par l'intermédiaire des articulations des hanches, et réduit l'énergie métabolique associée à la marche/course, et réduit la fréquence des chutes dues à une poussée insuffisante sur la jambe. Certaines formes de réalisation visent également à réduire l'effort et la consommation d'énergie métabolique associés à la marche/course pratiquée en transportant un sac à dos lourd ou une autre charge importante.
