  • Patent number: 10201447
    Abstract: Example embodiments relate to a link assembly and a leg supporting apparatus using the same. A top end of a frame mounted on a user's thigh can move along a downwardly-concave trajectory. A center of weight of the leg supporting apparatus placed on the top end of the frame converges on a lowest point of the downwardly-concave trajectory so that the user's weight can be stably supported.
