Claim:
1. A system for attaching an assistive device to a limb, the system comprising: a. a liner having an opening for insertion of a limb; b. a proximal connector attached to the liner, the proximal connector having a distal planar surface; c. a plurality of proximal magnets arranged on the proximal connector at the distal planar surface of the proximal connector; d. a distal connector having a proximal planar surface; e. a plurality of distal magnets arranged on the distal connector at the proximal planar surface of the distal connector; and f. a plurality of compliance components configured for compliance under load; wherein each of the compliance components is fitted behind one of the proximal magnets or behind one of the distal magnets such that a proximal or distal magnet is located between each compliance component and a respective planar connector surface; and wherein at least one signal that is representative of one or more electromyography signals can be transmitted between the proximal connector and the distal connector via at least one of the plurality of the proximal magnets and at least one of the plurality of distal magnets when the proximal connector and the distal connector are magnetically attached.
