A multi-fit orthotic structure including an attachment system for coupling
the orthotic structure to a wide variety of subjects without requiring a
custom fit. In one embodiment, active mobility assistance is provided via
an orthotic system capable of integrating a linear actuator and linkage
system to deliver torque to the lower leg of a subject to facilitate
flexion and/or extension motion of the subject's leg. The orthotic
structure is attached to the subject using a textile suspension system
which does not require the orthotic structure to interface directly in
the knee region or at the lateral areas of the thigh and calf of the
subject, thus providing an ideal fit for the widest possible range of
subjects with the minimum number of required sizes.
