Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical instruments, and in particular to an auxiliary walking device for geriatric medicine and a method for using the same. Background Art

[0002] As they age, the physical functions of the elderly gradually decline, resulting in a weakened ability to walk. First of all, problems such as bone aging, muscle atrophy and osteoporosis will make the elderly feel weak and unsteady when walking. In addition, cardiovascular disease can also affect heart function, making the body unable to provide enough oxygen and nutrients to muscle tissue, resulting in fatigue. Secondly, joint disease is also one of the important reasons why the elderly need assisted walking. Joint diseases such as arthritis can cause joint pain, stiffness and limited movement, seriously affecting the elderly's ability to walk. Finally, neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease can also affect the elderly's ability to walk. These diseases can reduce the brain's ability to control the body, leading to unstable or weak walking. In summary, in order to improve the elderly's walking ability, some elderly people need the help of assisted walking devices to assist in walking.

[0033] A method for using an auxiliary walking device for geriatric medicine comprises the following steps: first, the patient stands in front of a support plate 1305 and fixes a connecting strap 1308 in front of the patient; then, the adjusting plate 6 is pressed downward to make the limiting tooth 7 leave the limiting slot 4, and the connecting support plate 9 is moved up and down until the height is suitable for the patient to use; the adjusting plate 6 is released, and the limiting tooth 7 is engaged in the limiting slot 4 at the corresponding position under the action of a reset spring 8, so that the connecting support plate 9 is kept in this position; then, the patient holds the handrail with both hands. The patient wears an anti-slip cover 12 on the front of the mobile phone 10, and the arm is supported on the first support pad 11, and the patient walks with the cooperation of the moving wheel 2. For elderly patients with poor arm strength, the first cylinder 1303 is started to drive the support plate 1305 to move upward to provide support for the patient's armpits and upper arms. When the patient accidentally falls forward, the pressure sensor 1310 detects that the pressure exceeds the set threshold and immediately transmits a signal to the second cylinder 1403, so that the second cylinder 1403 extends to drive the movable support plate 1404 to rotate and support it on the ground.

[0034] When in use, the adjustment plate 6 is pressed downward to rotate, so that the limit tooth 7 leaves the limit slot 4, the return spring 8 is compressed, and the connecting support plate 9 is moved up and down to make the movable support rod 3 slide along the inside of the support leg 1 until the height of the connecting support plate 9 and the handrail 10 is suitable for the patient to use, so as to facilitate use by elderly patients of different heights. The patient holds the anti-slip cover 12, and the anti-slip cover 12 is made of rubber material.

The patient's arm is placed on the first support pad 11, and the flexibility of the first support pad 11 can provide a cushion for the arm, which is convenient for the arm to provide support.

[0035] The supporting device 13 is connected with the strap 1308 to protect the patient. For elderly patients with poor arm strength, the first cylinder 1303 is started to drive the supporting plate 1305 to move upward to provide support for the patient's armpits and upper arms, so as to facilitate the patient's walking in the case of insufficient arm strength without manual assistance. The second support pad 1306 can provide a cushion for the patient's armpits and upper arms by utilizing its flexibility to avoid discomfort in the patient's armpits and upper arms when providing support to the patient.

[0036] Through the anti-fall device 14, when the patient accidentally falls forward, the pressure sensor 1310 is subjected to pressure and detects that the pressure exceeds the set threshold, and immediately transmits a signal to the second cylinder 1403, so that the second cylinder 1403 extends to drive the movable support plate 1404 to rotate and support it on the ground. The movable support plate 1404 increases the contact area of ​​the entire device, and the anti-slip bottom pad 1405 increases the friction between the entire device and the ground, thereby increasing the stability of the entire auxiliary walking device, making it convenient to connect the straps 1308 to support the patient to prevent the patient from falling completely and getting injured.

[0037] Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments.
