5. The walking rehabilitation device according to claim 4, characterized in that: The drive assembly includes a drive motor, which is fixedly mounted on the connector. A worm gear is coaxially fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor. The worm gear is rotatably connected within the connector and meshes with the worm wheel.

6. The walking rehabilitation device according to claim 3, characterized in that: The adjustment assembly also includes a mounting base with a slot at its upper end. The mounting base is fixedly installed at the lower ends of the thigh support and the lower ends of the calf support. The adjustment rod is rotatably mounted on the mounting base, with one end of the adjustment rod extending through the mounting base and outside the mounting base. A handle is rotatably connected to this end of the adjustment rod, and the handle corresponds to the slot. An adjustment gear is coaxially fixedly connected to the adjustment rod, and the adjustment gear meshes with the drive rack.

7. The walking rehabilitation device according to claim 1, characterized in that: The upper end of the foot bracket is fixedly connected to the lower end of the lower connecting rod. A support rod is rotatably connected to the lower end of the foot bracket. A fixing rod is fixedly connected to the side of the support rod. A support plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the support rod.

8. The walking rehabilitation device according to claim 7, characterized in that: The buffer assembly includes a fixed base, which is fixedly installed at the lower end of the lower connecting rod and located above the foot bracket. A buffer spring is provided between the fixed base and the fixed rod, and the two ends of the buffer spring are rotatably connected to the fixed base and the fixed rod, respectively.

9. A walking rehabilitation device according to claim 1, characterized in that: Straps are fixedly connected to both the upper part of the thigh support and the upper part of the lower leg support. The straps are used to fix the patient's thigh and lower leg to the thigh support and the lower leg support, respectively.

10. A rehabilitation method for neurological patients, characterized in that: The specific steps of using the walking rehabilitation device according to any one of claims 1-9 are as follows: First, the device is put on the patient. During the process, medical staff adjust the adjustment rods on the thigh support and calf support according to the patient's body shape, so that the upper connecting rod on the thigh support and the lower connecting rod on the calf support move downwards to match the patient's leg length. After the device is put on, the drive components on the upper and lower ends of the thigh support drive the thigh support to lift the patient's thigh upwards and the calf support to bend the patient's calf backwards, respectively, to make walking movements. Through the alternating swing of the thigh support and calf support on both sides of the main body, the patient can walk on the ground and carry out rehabilitation training.
