[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, telescopic rods 21 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the walking frame 2, and the output ends of the telescopic rods 21 are connected to the supporting plates 20, and the top of the supporting plates 20 is provided with a groove 19.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, grip bars 1 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the walking frame 2. The grip bars 1 are arranged close to the stabilizing bars 3. The extending direction of the grip bars 1 is tangentially perpendicular to the bottom end of the support plate 20.

[0031] The support plate 20 and the grip bar 1 can change the patient's posture when manipulating the walker 2, so that the body weight is borne by the entire arm, thereby reducing the force on the patient's wrist and avoiding the compression pain caused by traditional underarm support. The height of the support plate 20 is adjusted by the telescopic rod 21 to move the support plate 20 to the height of the patient's arm when walking and standing normally.

The height and angle of the rotating frame 24 are first adjusted by the angle-fixing assembly and the height-adjusting assembly, so that the protective pad 22 provided on the inner side of the rotating frame 24 fits the patient's back, and then the patient can use the walking frame 2 for rehabilitation training. When the patient falls backwards, the patient will press the rotating frame 24 backward through the protective pad 22, and the rotating frame 24 will synchronously drive the support rods 30 provided on both sides thereof to rotate along the first connecting shaft 8 provided in the storage groove 9. Since the first gear 35 provided at one end of the support rod 30 and the second gear 5 provided at one end of the support rod 6 The support rod 6 is meshed, so the support rod 6 will rotate backward under the drive of the support rod 30. At the same time, the first connecting block 29 hinged on the outer sides of the two support rods 30 will press down the second connecting block 34, so that the buffer rod 31 connected to the second connecting block 34 slides along the buffer tube 15. The sliding speed of the buffer rod 31 is controlled by the exhaust hole opened at the bottom end of the buffer tube 15 to prevent the rotating frame 24 from rotating backward too fast and causing excessive impact on the patient. When the buffer block 7 set at the bottom end of the support block contacts the ground, the support block stops rotating, and the patient is supported by the support block and a pair of supporting legs at the rear of the walking frame 2, thereby preventing the patient from continuing to lean back and causing serious injury, thereby improving the safety protection effect of the device.
