Against the backdrop of accelerated ageing around the globe, an increasing number of individuals suffer from hip motion disability and gait disorders. In this paper, the performance analysis of a novel parallel assistive mechanism with 2 DOF for hip adduction/abduction (AB/AD) and flexion/extension (FL/EX) assistance is completed and evaluated, particularly the velocity and force transfer features. The analysis shows that the assistive mechanism has advantages of fine motion assistive isotropy, high force transfer ratio and large force isotropic radius, which indicates that the parallel assistive mechanism is suitable for hip AB/AD and FL/EX assistance.
