摘要: A walking assistance system comprising a pair of reciprocating braces and computer controlled stimulation electrodes for stimulating alternating extension the left right hips an assisted person. The include leg portions which are interconnected by cables in such manner as to produce forward motion either when weight person is resting on opposite hip bearing stimulated into extension. equipped with knee locks may be unlocked permit assumption sitting position. also operatively disengaged during sitting.
