[0002] With the increase of age, the physical function of the elderly gradually declines, leading to weakened walking ability. Firstly, problems such as skeletal aging, muscle atrophy and osteoporosis will make the elderly feel weak and unstable when walking. In addition, cardiovascular diseases will also affect heart function, making the body unable to provide enough oxygen and nutrients to muscle tissue, thereby producing a sense of fatigue. Secondly, joint diseases are also one of the important reasons why the elderly need to assist in walking. Joint diseases such as arthritis can cause joint pain, stiffness and limited movement, which seriously affect the walking ability of the elderly. Finally, neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease can also affect the walking ability of the elderly.
