Abstract: A load bearing assistance apparatus for transferring load from a lower extremity orthotic or prosthetic device to the ground. The load bearing assistance apparatus includes a lateral and a medial spring-loaded members and a linking mechanism for connecting the load bearing assistance apparatus to the lower extremity orthotic or prosthetic device. The linking mechanism also connects the lateral and medial spring-loaded members in a spaced apart configuration so as to position them adjacent the lateral and medial portions, respectively, of the foot of the user of the lower extremity orthotic or prosthetic device and such that a portion of the lateral and medial spring-loaded members enters in contact with the ground during locomotion.

Abstract: A load distribution device for transferring musculoskeletal stress from joints to body segments of the lower extremities of a user. The device includes actuation of the hips and knees that follows and assists the user's movement in a complimentary way. The complimentary assistance and load distribution device combine to reduce the loading on the user's joints and increase the user's strength. By assisting the user's hip and/or knees as needed, the device allows the user to achieve improved strength, reduces the metabolic requirements for motion, and increases comfort during physical activity. The load distribution device follows the user's limbs through the full joint range of motion and can be used in both passive and active modes.
