Problems solved by technology

If the patient stays in bed for a long time, it will cause muscle atrophy, joint aging, bedsore, and further loss of limb function, which is not conducive to the early recovery of the body

For patients with unilateral lower limb motor dysfunction, since the other lower limb is healthy and has the ability to stand, rehabilitation exercises should be performed as soon as possible to allow the limb with motor dysfunction to move. There are many ways to move, including self-help walking Or walking with the assistance of an accompanying person is a very good way of moving, but when self-help walking, the lower limbs with motor dysfunction cannot fully apply force, and the legs are laborious to lift, so they cannot walk normally. This requires the use of a walker. In the prior art Most of the walking aids in China are four-legged walking aids with wheels, but it is not convenient for patients with incomplete upper limbs or injuries. There are also wearable walking aids. Most of the wearable walking aids use spring energy storage to assist walking. Different people are suitable for different spring preloads. The existing wearable walkers are inconvenient to adjust, and the adjustment space is small, so they cannot adapt to more people.
