Does connecting the upper part of the exoskeleton to the middle part of the thigh pose any risks or potential muscle impairment?

I have designed a lower limb exoskeleton that is supposed to take the extra load off the injured knee while walking. Is it correct to connect the upper part of the exhaust to the middle part of the thigh? Could this put too much force on the thigh muscles and impair their function? Any suggestions for that?
