FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medical technology, namely to traumatology and orthopedics, and can also be used in tourism and sports. Exoskeleton contains upper and lower support devices. Supporting devices are located under the foot of a person and are interconnected by means of a device that can be compressed and moved in a vertical plane with fixing the position of the supporting devices in a compressed or extended positions, which is made in the form of a pivotally movable support connected at one end with a lower support device with the possibility of movement, and secured by the other end on the upper support device for rotation around a transverse axis. Lower support device is made with the possibility of extension in a vertical plane relative to the upper support device, when moving the legs from the rearmost position to the forwardmost position.
EFFECT: use of the invention makes it possible to reduce the load on the muscles of the legs, joints and tendons due to the alignment of the trajectory of the extension of the common center of mass while improving the mechanism of the pendulum movement of the supporting and swing legs.
