Abstract
A walking assistance method and/or apparatuses configured to perform same are provided. A state variable may be defined based on a result obtained by measuring a gait motion of a user, and a torque profile may be generated based on the defined state variable, a gain and a delay. The generated torque profile may correspond to a torque profile to assist the gait motion, or a torque profile to provide a resistance to the gait motion.
