In a walking assistance device for providing a walking assistance force to a femoral part of a user, the walking assistance force generated by a power generator is effectively transmitted to the femoral part of the user while avoiding the user from experiencing any undue pressure or discomfort. The walking assistance device comprises a rigid femoral support frame (30L, 30R) having a base end (31) connected to an output end of an electric motor unit (14L, 14R) and a free end (32) extending from the base end to a position opposite to a front part of the femoral part of the user, and a flexible belt (50L, 50R) attached to the free end of the femoral support frame to be releasably worn around a circumference of the femoral part of the user at a height corresponding to the free end of the femoral support frame.
