Abstract

The invention discloses a portable modularized walking aid exoskeleton, and relates to a lower limb exoskeleton which aims at solving the problems that an existing lower limb exoskeleton used for assisting handicapped and elderly people is large in size and weight, poor in comfort degree and not capable of being worn independently. The portable modularized walking aid exoskeleton comprises a lumbar spinal cord module, two thigh modules and two shank modules, the thigh modules are arranged under the lumbar spinal cord module in the mode of mutually serving as mirror images, the shank modules are arranged under the thigh modules in the mode of mutually serving as the mirror images, and thigh binding bands and shank binding bands are both located on the inner sides; an upper output part is connected with an upper plugging lock catch, and a lower output part is connected with a lower plugging lock catch. The portable modularized walking aid exoskeleton is used for handicapped and elderly people assistance, medical rehabilitation and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a lower limb exoskeleton, in particular to a portable modular walking aid exoskeleton. Background technique [0002] For the millions of patients with loss of lower limb function due to stroke, spinal cord injury, etc. in the current society, as well as the growing elderly population, wearable lower limb exoskeletons have great expectations due to their good anthropomorphic and human-computer interaction characteristics. Application requirements are becoming more and more urgent. At present, most of the existing lower limb power-assisted exoskeletons for the purpose of helping the elderly and the disabled are bloated and heavy, complicated to put on and take off, and need to rely on auxiliary personnel. The comfort and wearing experience are poor, so they are still in the prototype test stage, and it is difficult to truly popularize and apply them. . The relatively lightweight lower extremity exoskeleton is mostly in the form...
