    摘要: The invention relates to an exoskeleton sub-assembly (30) comprising: —a leg part (32) to be attached to a leg of a user, and—a foot part (33) to be attached to a shoe of the user; the leg part (32) comprises a tibial segment (321) extending below the knee, along the tibia of the user, when the leg part (32) is attached to the leg, and the tibial segment (321) comprises a first component (325), a second component (326) connected to the foot part (33), and a first joint (327) connecting the second component (326) to the first component (325), the first joint (327) permitting a rotation of the second component (326) with respect to the first component (325) caused by an internal or external rotation of the user's foot with respect to the leg.

    摘要: 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.
