Abstract: According to a walking motion assist device 10, an assisting force T of a leg in a standing-leg period is controlled to indicate a greatest value or a maximum value in a first designated period (refer to the one-dot chain line and the two-dot chain line in t=t1 to t2).

A smooth starting of floor leaving and bending motion of the other leg is prompted so as to follow the translation of the body.
