Abstract: A hip assist actuation system is configured to allow a user to experience free movement of hip extension and hip flexion over a predetermined range and receive a torque assist in response to performing a lifting or pushing activity. The hip assist actuation system may be configured to determine whether the lifting or pushing activity is occurring and provide the torque assist in response to the determination.
