Assisted walking device for hemiplegia

Abstract

The invention relates to a walking aid for a person with paralysis. The walking aid for the person with paralysis comprises a healthy side device, an affected side device and an energy storage and releasing device, wherein one end of the healthy side device is fixed to a waist binding band while the other end is connected to a lower limb of a healthy side; one end of the affected side device is fixed to the waist binding band while the other end is connected to a lower limb of an affected side; the energy storage and releasing device is fixed to the waist binding band and is separately hingedto the healthy side device and the affected side device; when the healthy side device moves, energy is stored in the energy storage and releasing device; and the energy which is stored in the energy storage and releasing device can drive the affected side device to move when released. When a user moves with a leg on the healthy side, the energy storage and releasing device stores the energy through the healthy side device; when the user moves with a leg on the affected side, the stored energy is released to drive the affected side device to drive the leg on the affected side; and thus, a walking aiding effect is achieved. The device is light and simple, is convenient to wear, and can effectively help a patient with paralysis to walk, the stability of standing and walking is improved, and the rehabilitation training effect is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an auxiliary walking device for hemiplegia, in particular to a device capable of driving the affected lower limb to walk by the healthy lower limb of a hemiplegic patient, which belongs to the technical field of rehabilitation aids and mobility aids. Background technique [0002] Cerebrovascular disease, mainly stroke, is one of the diseases with the highest mortality and disability rates in my country. In my country, whether in urban or rural areas, cerebrovascular disease has shown an obvious trend of moving forward in the ranking of causes of death in recent years. Among the surviving patients with cerebrovascular disease, about three-quarters are disabled to varying degrees, among which the severely disabled account for about 40%. At the same time, there are more than 2 million new cases of stroke each year; in addition, the problem of population aging in my country is becoming more and more serious, and diseases such as s...

Problems solved by technology

Lower extremity exoskeleton robots have played an important role in helping hemiplegic patients stand, walk, and rehabilitation training. At present, the more influential robots of this type include: Locomat, ALEX, Ekso, Rewalk, HLA-5, etc., but these devices are in further application. There are still many limitations: heavy weight, limited drive, short battery life, uncomfortable for users to wear, high manufacturing cost, expensive, etc.
