    Abstract: The present invention features a wearable device for assisting in the movement of lower limbs. The wearable device may comprise an anchor component configured to encircle a torso of a user and be supported by the shoulders through a harness/suspender that provides both postural support and proprioceptive input. The wearable device may have one or more tubing components attached to at least a portion of the anchor component, and one or more elastic cords with at least a portion of the elastic cord are disposed within the tubing component. Each cord may have a first and second attachment component on each end, which may attach to a first shoe and a second shoe of the user. Lowering the cord end by the attachment component may cause the other cord end to rise.

    Abstract: A limb assistance device for assisting in the movement of a lower limb of a user. The limb assistance devices can attach to or be integrated with a stability aid (e.g., a walker or parallel bars). The devices may comprise an adaptor bracket configured to attach to the stability aid, an elastic cord coupled to the adaptor bracket, and an adjustment component attached to the elastic cord. Moving the stability aid (e.g., the walker) may cause the attachment component to pull the shoe of the user along with the stability aid.
