PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a walking assistance device including a femoral support assembly capable of transmitting the power generated by a power generator to a femoral part of a user as the walking assistance force in a reliable manner while minimizing the discomfort and stress to the user.SOLUTION: Spherical projections 80 are formed in either of distal end parts of a swing arm 60, 62 or a femoral front pad plates 68, 70 and spherical recesses are formed in the others. Thus, the spherical projections 80 and the spherical recesses 90 are engaged mutually to form a spherical joint structure, so that the femoral front pad plate 68, 70 is connected to move tiltably in all directions with respect to the swing arms 60, 62 by means of the spherical joint structure. |
