Provided is a femoral support member (3) for a walking assistance device that includes a power actuator (actuator 4) having a drive shaft and secured to a hip region of a wearer, the femoral support member securing a free end of an assist force transmitting arm (5) extending from the drive shaft of the power actuator to a femoral region (T) of the wearer. The femoral support member engages the femoral part of the wearer via an air pad (27) filled with air. Thus, owing to the air cushioning action of the aid pad, the air pad can readily deform itself by a large displacement even when the wearer squats and the femoral region expands. By appropriately adjusting the air in the air pad, the femoral support member can be worn by a wearer in a highly favorable manner.
