Apparatus to assist human walking, comprising in combination first and second longitudinally extending strut members (11, 12) that are relatively movable, longitudinally, and adapted to transmit body associated loading; the first strut member (11) or members operatively connected to a rack and/or to the user's body; the second strut member (12) or members slaved, i.e. operatively connected to the user's foot or feet, ankles or shoes, to move therewith; and a control that responds to step-by-step treading to control relative movement of the strut members. Such loading is controllably transferred back and forth between left and right pairs of strut members, in response to treading.
