Abstract
Provided is an exoskeleton assembly configured to be coupled to a wearer, including a plurality of members corresponding to body segments of the wearer. An adjustable first member includes a first component and a second component. The assembly further includes a first locking mechanism and a second locking mechanism, each configured to alternate between a locked position and unlocked position. When the first locking mechanism and the second locking mechanism are in the respective unlocked positions, the first component and the second component are free to slide relative to each other thereby adjusting the length of the first member. When either the first locking mechanism or the second locking mechanism is in the respective locked position, the first component and the second component are not free to slide relative to each other. The first member may be a spine assembly, a hip assembly, or a leg assembly.
