WALK ASSISTING DEVICE

摘要

Provided is a walk assisting device comprising a load transmitting portion, a leg link connected to the load transmitting portion, and a drive source (9) capable of driving the leg link in a direction to raise a seating member, so that the weight of a user may be supported at least partially through the load transmitting portion by the leg link. An electric part to be used for controlling the drive source can be mounted on the walk assisting device without deteriorating the compactness of the walk assisting device. The leg link has at least its portion constituted of a cylindrical link member (43), in which the electric part (16) such as a motor driver to be used for the control of the drive source (9) is housed. The walk assisting device further comprises a heat transfer member (19) for absorbing the heat of the electric part (16) by the cylindrical link member (43). The heat transfer member (19) is thermally connected to a side plate portion (43a) of the cylindrical link member (43) directed toward the side opposite to the leg of the user.
