Abstract
An exoskeleton is disclosed. The exoskeleton can include support members rotatably coupled together about a joint. The joint can define a degree of freedom, which can correspond to a degree of freedom of a human extremity, such as hip medial/lateral rotation, ankle medial/lateral rotation, shoulder medial/lateral rotation, or wrist pronation/supination rotation. One or more parasagittal planes through the human extremity can intersect the joint to minimize a gravity-induced moment on the first joint during operation of the exoskeleton.
