Problems solved by technology

Although many countries are developing wearable exoskeletons and paying attention to intelligent control, the technology is too complicated, the cost is too high, and it is difficult to promote. There is no ideal wearable exoskeleton that is easy to use and intelligently controlled by humans in the world.
At present, patients with lower osteoarthritis at home and abroad still use hand-push walkers or various types of crutches. Not only the load sharing is small and it is difficult to achieve the desired effect, but also the long-term excessive force on the upper limbs may lead to new lesions
[0003] People have also developed intelligent lower limb walkers, but the existing intelligent lower limb walkers have the problems of poor wearing comfort, unsatisfactory stability, poor safety and reliability, and inconvenient operation and use. Inconvenient to use

Abstract

The invention discloses a wearable walking aid for patients with lower limb osteoarthropathy. The wearable walking aid comprises lower supporting plates, a connecting rotating shaft is arranged outside one side of each lower supporting plate, a pedal plate is arranged outside one side of each connecting rotating shaft, a first limit sliding groove is formed in each lower supporting plate, a firstsliding block is arranged in each first limit sliding groove, each first sliding block is connected with a crus fixing ring, a first heating pad is arranged in each crus fixing ring, the top of each lower supporting plate is provided with a first lifting plate, the top of each first lifting plate is provided with an adjustable knee-joint, the top of each adjustable knee-joint is provided with a second lifting plate, each second lifting plate is provided with an upper supporting plate, each upper supporting plate is internally provided with a second limit sliding groove, each second limit sliding groove is internally provided with a second sliding block, and each second sliding block is connected with a thigh fixing ring. The wearable walking aid for the patients with the lower limb osteoarthropathy has the advantages that the structure is simple, the arrangement of an elastic cushion improves the comfort of an upholstered seat body, the arrangement of a heating cushion has effects of keeping warm and relieving pain on the legs of the patients, and the use moderation is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of walking aids for lower limbs, in particular to a wearable walking aid for patients with lower limb osteoarthritis. Background technique [0002] Patients with lower extremity osteoarthritis suffer from articular cartilage lesions, and the stress on the joints during walking will lead to pain and aggravation of the condition. Long-term asymmetric wear and tear of joints in patients with knee arthrosis will also lead to X-shaped legs and O-shaped legs. Although many countries are developing wearable exoskeletons and paying attention to intelligent control, the technology is too complicated, the cost is too high, and it is difficult to promote. There is no ideal wearable exoskeleton that is easy to use and intelligently controlled by humans in the world. At present, patients with lower osteoarthritis at home and abroad still use hand-push walkers or various types of crutches. Not only the load sharing is sma...
