Systems and methods are provided for supporting an arm of a user using a harness configured to be worn on a body of a user； and an arm support coupled to the harness configured to support an arm of the user, the arm support configured to accommodate movement of the arm while following the movement without substantially interfering with the movement of the user's arm. One or more compensation elements (74) may be coupled to the arm support to apply an offset force to at least partially offset a gravitational force acting on the arm as the user moves and the arm support follows the movement of the user's arm, the one or more compensation elements (74) providing a force profile that varies the offset force based on an orientation of the arm support.
