Abstract
One aspect of the invention relates to an exoskeleton for assisting with a walking activity of a user, comprising: - actuators suitable for assisting a flexion and extension movement of the hips of the user; and - a dorsal structure comprising a dorsal tube with: - a bottom end of the dorsal tube connected to the cradle by a bottom link, wherein the bottom link is a pivot link allowing rotation about an axis perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the dorsal tube, and perpendicular to an axis formed by the actuators; and - a top end of the dorsal tube connected to the chest harness by a top link, wherein the top link is a dual pivot link allowing a first rotation about an axis parallel to the axis formed by the actuators and a second rotation about the longitudinal axis of the dorsal tube.
