Abstract

The invention discloses an unpowered flexible walking aid for assisting healthy adults to walk for a long time. The walking aid is composed of an adjustable waistband, waist assisting components, upper leg bilateral flexible connecting components, upper leg flexible adjustable leg bands, knee assisting components and lower leg flexible adjustable leg bands. The waist assisting components, the kneeassisting components and elastic connecting bands between the waistband and assisting component shells can realize a purpose of reducing energy consumption during walking by utilizing the conversionof kinetic energy and release energy and the changes of included angles between the upper legs and the body and between the upper legs and the lower legs in the walking process of people and adoptingelastic elements to carry out energy storage and release. The invention focuses on the issue of walking aid for healthy people, and plane spiral springs, annular joint rotating elastic components andflexible elastic light ropes are used for connecting all parts, so that the the walking aid makes the walking more labor-saving and comfortable, and is lighter in weight and convenient to carry and wear.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a non-powered walking aid, in particular to a non-powered flexible walking aid for assisting healthy adults to walk for a long time. Background technique [0002] Medically, tools that assist the human body, support body weight, maintain balance and walk are commonly referred to as walking aids. Ordinary walking aids include crutches and walking aids, which are widely used walking aids to help the elderly and disabled people who have difficulty walking, as well as visually impaired groups with perceptual difficulties. The functions of these ordinary walking aids are relatively single, the range of applicable people is small, and their comfort and safety are relatively limited. In recent years, walking assistant robots have become a research hotspot at home and abroad. [0003] Walker robot technology has achieved a lot of research results, especially in the United States, Japan, South Korea, etc. The research results on walke...
