a wheeled frame adapted to move along a floor surface and support at least a portion of the user's weight;
a leg brace configured to attach to the compromised limb of the user; and
a compromised limb gait system connecting the leg brace to the wheeled frame, wherein a first end of the compromised limb gait system attaches to the leg brace at a point below a hip and proximate to a knee of the comprised limb and a distal, a second end of the compromised limb gait system attaches to the wheeled frame at the front of the wheeled frame and not at a pelvis of the user, wherein the compromised limb gait system is configured to guide the compromised limb through a simulated gait motion.
