PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a walking motion assisting device capable of applying a walking assisting force as smoothly as possible even when a thigh reversal swing phenomenon contrary to the intention of a user occurs. SOLUTION: A thigh phase angle calculating means transmits a thigh phase angle φ (k) at a sampling timing S (k) (k is an integer of 1 or more) to a walking operation timing calculating means and a thigh phase angle φ (k). ) Is saved as the reference thigh phase angle φc, and the reference thigh phase angle φc saved instead of the thigh phase angle φ (k) at the timing S (k) is sent to the walking motion timing calculation means. It also has a stored data transmission process that maintains the reference thigh phase angle φc, the thigh phase angle at one timing is smaller than the reference thigh phase angle stored at that time, and the absolute value of the deviation is a predetermined threshold value. The stored data transmission process is performed only when the following conditions are satisfied, and the latest data transmission process is performed in other cases.
