    Abstract: A wearable exoskin (100), which generates energy by an external force of a user applied to the exoskin (100) and utilizes that a energy to support the movement of the user, comprises at least one fluid circuit (30), at least one interface (10) which is fluidly connected to the at least one fluid circuit (30) and at least one actuator (20) which is fluidly connected to the at least one fluid circuit (30). The at least one fluid circuit (30) comprises a displaceable fluid (40). The fluid actuator (20) is changeable in volume and switches from a first state (with a first volume) to a second state (with a second volume), which is different from the first state, in reaction to the flow of the displaceable fluid (40). The displacement of the fluid (40) is caused by an interaction of the user with the at least one interface (10), such as the application of an external force. The exoskin (100) can be used in a compression garment, such as used on a lower limb.
