A portable cushion that minimizes the blocking of blood circulation, stress, and pain in the femoral region caused by sitting on a chair for long hours or an extended time is provided. The overall shape of the cushion resembles human lungs connected to each other at the upper part with an upper surface that is flat, except for two wing portions. The wings are in a convex shape. The cushion is made of EP (Ethylene-Propylene Copolymer) rubber foam. A straight shallow center groove is concavely developed on the upper surface of the cushion along the direction of the wings. Two concave grooves, resembling hemi-oval shapes being cut along the long center axis thereof are developed on the flat upper surface of the seat cushion to receive ischial tuberosities of a user. A shell-shaped concave groove for receiving the coccyx of the user is developed on the rear part of the flat upper surface of the cushion between the two hemi-oval shape grooves. The front side of the cushion, between the two wings, is caved in for receiving and positioning of genitals of the user. The unique geometry of the cushion reduces the pressure to the ischial tuberosities and the coccyx of a user by maximizing the contact area and distribute the user's weight throughout the surface, while minimizing the blocking of blood circulation by minimizing the contact area of the wings of the cushion and the rear part of the thighs of the user.

In a femoral support member 3 for a walking assistance device, the walking assistance device includes a power actuator (actuator 4) having a drive shaft and secured to a hip region of a wearer, and the femoral support member secures a free end of an assist force transmitting arm 5 extending from the drive shaft of the power actuator to a femoral region of the wearer. The present invention is characterized in that the femoral support member engages the femoral region of the wearer via a pad 23 provided with friction reducing means. The fact that the femoral region of the wearer is allowed to make a sliding contact with the femoral support member accommodates the relative movement between the support member and body owing to the disagreement between the axis of body movement (center of an articulate joint) and the point at which the power actuator/power transmitting arm engages the wearer's body. Therefore, the present invention is highly effective in minimizing the discomfort to the wearer.

Provided is a femoral support member (3) for a walking assistance device that includes a power actuator (actuator 4) having a drive shaft and secured to a hip region of a wearer, the femoral support member securing a free end of an assist force transmitting arm (5) extending from the drive shaft of the power actuator to a femoral region (T) of the wearer. The femoral support member engages the femoral part of the wearer via an air pad (27) filled with air. Thus, owing to the air cushioning action of the aid pad, the air pad can readily deform itself by a large displacement even when the wearer squats and the femoral region expands. By appropriately adjusting the air in the air pad, the femoral support member can be worn by a wearer in a highly favorable manner.
