Summary:This paper presents a study concerning the structural and mechanical design in Solid Works completed with a kinematic numerical description for a new leg exoskeleton proposed for human motion assistance and rehabilitation. The exoskeleton proposed new design is based on a seven links mechanism, designed to fulfil human locomotion tasks. A kinematic model of the proposed mechanism is presented and obtained results with a computational algorithm developed in ADAMS, are presented with plots. A 3D model is designed for simulation purposes in ADAMS multi body dynamics software and future manufacturing. The obtained simulation results are useful to appreciate the exoskeleton performance for human rehabilitation purposes.
