Problems solved by technology

[0003] But for the elderly, the more serious problem is that they cannot stand up from the seat or the toilet. The reason is that in the process of standing, the legs need to be bent at a larger angle, and the muscles have to overcome a large weight. The force is much greater than that of walking; therefore, the process of standing for the elderly must be assisted by others. Many elderly people cannot use this auxiliary walking device for the elderly because they cannot stand up alone.
[0004] To sum up, the defect of the assistive walking device for the elderly in the prior art is that it cannot assist the elderly to stand up
