PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a movement assisting device capable of reducing a load to a user due to mass of an actuator.SOLUTION: A movement assisting device includes: a mounting fixture attached to a human body of a user, and having a joint part for connecting a first member and a second member in a relatively rotatable manner an actuator for relatively rotating the first member and the second member a control device for performing drive control of the actuator and a battery device for charging electric power to be supplied to the actuator. The actuator is disposed at a front surface part disposed at a front surface of a user in the mounting fixture. The battery device is disposed at a back surface part disposed at a back surface of the user in the mounting fixture.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】アクチュエータの質量によるユーザへの負荷を軽減可能な動作補助装置を提供する。【解決手段】動作補助装置は、ユーザの人体に装着され、第1の部材及び第2の部材を相対回転可能に連結する関節部を有する装着具と、第1の部材及び第2の部材を相対回転させるアクチュエータと、アクチュエータの駆動制御を行う制御装置と、アクチュエータに供給される電力を蓄電するバッテリ装置と、を備え、アクチュエータが、装着具のうちのユーザの前面に配置される前面部に配置され、バッテリ装置が、装着具のうちのユーザの背面に配置される背面部に配置される。【選択図】図3
