# Exoskeleton for supporting the back of a user

## Abstract

Exoskeleton configured to be worn by a user, comprising a waist anchoring device ( 100, 110 ) for anchoring to the user's waist, a torso anchoring device ( 101 ) for anchoring to the user's torso, a thigh anchoring device for anchoring to the user's thighs, the waist anchoring device ( 100, 110 ) being connected to the torso anchoring device ( 101 ) through an upper frame, and to the thigh anchoring device for anchoring to the user's thighs through a lower frame. At least one actuation unit is further present, which is configured to generate an assistive torque. Said actuation unit is positioned at the height of the user's waist.
