Claims6
A motion assistance apparatus comprising:
- a waist frame configured to support a waist of a user;
- a proximal support configured to support a proximal part of the user;
- and
- a rotary coupler configured to connect the waist frame and the proximal support at a selected one of a plurality of different positions such that a position at which the proximal support is connected to the waist frame via the rotary coupler varies based on the selected one of the plurality of different positions,
- wherein the waist frame includes an axis adjustment guide on the waist frame such that the axis adjustment guide is tilted upward toward a rear side of the waist frame, the axis adjustment guide configured to adjust a relative position between the waist frame and the rotary coupler;
- and
- wherein the rotary coupler includes,
- a base installable in the axis adjustment guide at different ones of the plurality of different positions, and
- a rotating body rotatably connected to the base.
