This paper describes a harness design for transmitting both horizontal and vertical forces to the torso of a user on a locomotion interfaces. For horizontal forces, an exoskeleton-like mechanism distributes forces between the shoulders and hips and accommodates to the complicated motions of the back and shoulders relative to hips. For vertical forces, a body weight support harness is integrated into the exoskeleton-like mechanism. A passive elastic element has been devised that ensures consistent strap tightening. Measurements are presented that shows the stiffness of the mechanical coupling of harness to subject for the purposes of faithful force application to the torso.
