CA 2727292

A walking assist device, which is to be worn on a person's leg, includes a shank link, a thigh member, and a knee mechanism. The thigh member is in contact with the person's thigh when the device is worn on the person's leg. The knee mechanism rotatably connects the shank link to the thigh member. When the shank link is in contact with the ground, the knee mechanism is configured to resist the rotation of the shank link relative to the thigh member to prevent the person's foot from contacting the ground and reduces ground reaction forces entering the person's foot.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'assistance à la marche, qui doit être porté sur une jambe d'une personne, et qui comprend une liaison à la jambe, un élément de cuisse, et un mécanisme de type genou. L'élément de cuisse est en contact avec la cuisse de la personne lorsque le dispositif est porté sur la jambe de la personne. Le mécanisme de type genou se connecte de manière rotatoire la liaison à la jambe avec l'élément de cuisse. Lorsque la liaison à la jambe est en contact avec le sol, le mécanisme de type genou est configuré pour résister à la rotation de la liaison à la jambe par rapport à l'élément de cuisse afin d'empêcher que le pied de la personne ne soit en contact avec le sol et réduit les forces de réaction au sol pénétrant le pied de la personne.
