An exoskeleton structure includes a pelvis assembly, a first lower limb assembly, a second lower limb assembly and a back assembly. The exoskeleton structure includes pivot joints connecting each of the lower limb assemblies and the back assembly to the pelvis assembly and permitting movements of abduction or adduction of the lower limbs of the user, a relative movement of lateral inclination of the spine of the user with respect to the pelvis of the user, and a twisting movement of the spine.

Exoskeleton structure

An exoskeleton structure includes a leg part to be fastened to a leg of a user, a foot part to be fastened to a foot of a user, a mechanical linking assembly linking the leg part to the foot part, and including a first pivot allowing the foot part to rotate relative to the leg part about a first axis when the foot of the user makes an internal/external rotation movement relative to the leg, and a second pivot allowing the foot part to rotate relative to the leg part about a second axis when the foot of the user makes a pronation/supination movement relative to the leg. The first pivot is at a height greater than or equal to 20 centimetres from the ground, and the distance between the first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation is less than or equal to 5 centimetres.
