A pelvic support and walking assistance device (5) is disclosed which includes a trunk support member (10) and a thigh lifting member (20) coupled to each other at a pivot joint (30) positioned opposite a hip joint of a user. The device (5) functions to prevent pelvic sway. With a spring coupled (32) with said pivot joint, the device further provides a thigh lifting torque to partially compensate for proximal leg weakness. The spring assistance pivot device includes a winding device that can be adjusted in use for varying forward torque for varying situations.
Ce dispositif de soutien pelvien et d'aide à la déambulation (5) comporte un élément de soutien du tronc (10) et un élément de relèvement de la cuisse (20) raccordé à une articulation (30) positionnée à l'opposé de l'articulation de la hanche du patient. Ce dispositif a pour but d'empêcher la claudication pelvienne. Pourvu d'un ressort couplé (32) audit joint, ce dispositif assure un couple de relèvement de la cuisse permettant de corriger en partie une faiblesse de la partie proximale de la jambe. Ce dispositif à pivot à assistance par ressort comporte un dispositif de bobinage pouvant être adapté en cours d'utilisation et ce, afin de modifier le couple dirigé vers l'avant dans le cas de diverses situations.
