PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a walking support device capable of reducing erroneous estimation of the residual capacity of a battery by highly accurately acquiring information from a sensor.SOLUTION: A walking support device 1 has a link mechanism 10 to become a locked state by making knee joints extend by a user, and a predetermined sensor 112. The device 1 includes an actuator 14 for driving the knee angle of the link mechanism 10, a knee axis angle sensor 111 for measuring the angle of the knee axis, a determining device 12 for determining whether the leg is in an upright state or a free state on the basis of a value acquired by the knee angle sensor 111, a controller 13 for giving the actuator 14 a drive command on the basis of the value acquired by the knee axis angle sensor 111, and a battery 15 for supplying power. If the determining device 12 determines that the leg is in the upright state or during shifting from the upright state to the free state, at least any one of the estimation of the residual capacity of the battery 15 or the acquisition of information from the predetermined sensor 112 is stopped. |
