An exoskeleton system comprising a leg actuator unit that is configured to be coupled to a leg of a user. The leg actuator unit includes: an upper arm and a lower arm that are rotatably coupled via a rotatable joint, the rotatable joint configured to be positioned at a knee of the user with the upper arm coupled about an upper-leg portion of the user above the knee and with the lower arm coupled about a lower-leg portion of the user below the knee. The upper arm is configured to be coupled to the upper-leg portion above the knee via a first set of couplers that includes a first upper-leg coupler, the lower arm is configured to be coupled to the lower-leg portion below the knee via a second set of couplers that includes one or more lower-leg couplers associated with a lower-leg brace, and an actuator extends between the upper arm and lower arm, the actuator configurable to move the upper arm and lower arm.
