    Abstract: The invention relates to a modular exoskeleton structure that provides force assistance to a user, comprising a base module (1) comprising a lumbar belt (11) capable of surrounding the lower trunk of the user, two hip modules capable of being attached to two respective thighs of the user, and a backpack support module (14) for an exoskeleton structure, comprising: a hoop (141) designed to be anchored to the hip modules, at the hips of a user, a support rod (142) designed to extend along the back of the user and capable of being engaged in a pouch of a backpack to suspend the backpack to the backpack support module (14), wherein the rod (142) comprises a first rod element (1421) connected to the hoop (141), a second rod element (1422) capable of sliding with respect to the first rod element (1421) so as to vary a length of the rod (142), and a damper for cushioning the movement of the second rod element (1421) with respect to the first rod element (1422) caused by the walking of the user.

    Abstract: An exoskeleton structure includes a leg part to be fastened to a leg of a user, a foot part to be fastened to a foot of a user, a mechanical linking assembly linking the leg part to the foot part, and including a first pivot allowing the foot part to rotate relative to the leg part about a first axis when the foot of the user makes an internal/external rotation movement relative to the leg, and a second pivot allowing the foot part to rotate relative to the leg part about a second axis when the foot of the user makes a pronation/supination movement relative to the leg. The first pivot is at a height greater than or equal to 20 centimetres from the ground, and the distance between the first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation is less than or equal to 5 centimetres.

    Abstract: A system and method for determining the gait profile of a user. The gait profiler system uses sensing systems that include inertial sensors configured to be positioned at the right and left foot-ankle structure, as well as spatial orientation of lower extremity body segments (shanks, thighs, and trunk) of the person for which the gait profile is to be determined. In an illustrative embodiment, the gait profiler system uses two additional inertial sensors at the left and right leg-knee or thigh-hip structure as well as sensors providing information indicative of the angular positions of the left and right knee and thigh, which may be provided by an exoskeleton or orthotic devices worn by the user. The determination of the gait profile of the user is then performed using biomechanics information about the user from the inertial sensors combined with the knee and hip angles.
