[0004] At present, there are still some shortcomings in a special crutch for the elderly. For example, when an elderly patient chooses a crutch, he generally needs to choose a crutch of suitable length according to his height. The crutch can be adjusted in length by a telescopic rod, but the elderly patient needs to bend down or squat to pull out the pin, and then insert the pin after the adjustment is completed. It is very inconvenient for elderly patients with bad waists to adjust the length of the crutch. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides an easy-to-use adjustable exercise crutch for the elderly, which solves the problem that the length of the crutch can be adjusted by a telescopic rod, but the elderly patient needs to bend down or squat to pull out a pin, and then insert the pin again after the adjustment is completed. For elderly patients with bad waists, it is very inconvenient to adjust the length of the crutch.

[0006] The above technical objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions:
