[0002] Parkinson's disease is a common neurodegenerative disease, more common in the elderly, with an average age of onset of 60 years old, and less common in young people under the age of 40. The symptoms of Parkinson's disease may vary from person to person. Parkinson's disease mainly manifests in symptoms such as limb stiffness, tremor, poor balance and coordination, etc. Since Parkinson's disease cannot be cured with the current level of medical treatment, the patient will usually use a gait training wearable device to assist the patient in gait training to delay the spread of the disease.

[0003] However, the existing gait training wearable device mainly uses a head or waist wearable device, stimulates the patient's nerves through the current pulse inside the device, increases the patient's nerve response in the self-care process, and provides nerve stimulation guidance. This can easily increase the unnecessary burden on the patient, and long-term use can cause the nervous system to become overly dependent on external stimuli, resulting in a decrease in the body's reaction force. At the same time, the existing device only provides nerve stimulation guidance and does not provide motion guidance. In addition, the device has poor stability when worn, needs to be worn in multiple positions, and is cumbersome to wear. SUMMARY

[0024] The application will be further described below in connection with specific embodiments. It should be noted that unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, terms such as: setting, installing, connecting, and connecting should be understood in a broad sense, for example, can be fixedly connected, or can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; can be mechanically connected, or can be electrically connected; can be directly connected, or can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or can be connected inside two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] A guiding device for Parkinson's disease patients to wear, such as Figures 1-3As shown, it comprises a waist plate 1, a first joint plate 2, a second joint plate 3, a supporting bottom plate 4, an elastic buckle belt 5, a fastening hook 51, an elastic limiting rod 52 and a shoulder strap 6. The first joint plate 2 is hingedly connected to the two sides of the waist plate 1. The bottom of the first joint plate 2 is rotatably connected to the second joint plate 3. The bottom of the second joint plate 3 is rotatably connected to the supporting bottom plate 4. A damping device capable of adjusting the tightness is arranged at the rotatable connection between the first joint plate 2 and the second joint plate 3. By twisting the damping device, the resistance of the mutual rotation of the first joint plate 2 and the second joint plate 3 can be increased or reduced. The elastic buckle belt 5 is arranged on the first joint plate 2 and the second joint plate 3. The fastening hook 51 is fixedly connected to the first joint plate 2 and the second joint plate 3. The fastening hook 51 and the elastic buckle belt 5 are used in cooperation to fix the leg of a Parkinson's patient. The elastic limiting rod 52 is slidably arranged on the first joint plate 2 and the second joint plate 3 to contact the fastening hook 51. The fastening hook 51 and the elastic limiting rod 52 have a beveled notch 53 at the contact and fitting position. The elastic buckle belt 5 can be clamped into the fastening hook 51 along the beveled notch 53 to prevent accidental sliding out of the elastic buckle belt 5. The shoulder strap 6 is fixed on the waist plate 1 by bolts to be fixed on the upper body of a user.

[0027] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 4 , it further comprises a hydraulic buffer rod 7. The first joint plate 2 and the second joint plate 3 are hingedly connected to the hydraulic buffer rod 7.

[0028] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 5 , it further comprises a foot wearing assembly 8. The foot wearing assembly 8 is arranged on the supporting bottom plate 4. The foot wearing assembly 8 comprises a ground-touching soft plate 81, a shoe bag 82 and a tightening belt 83. The ground-touching soft plate 81 is fixedly connected to the supporting bottom plate 4. The ground-touching soft plate 81 can adapt to new bending with the bending of the foot. The shoe bag 82 is fixedly connected to the ground-touching soft plate 81 on the opposite side of the ground-touching soft plate 81 to connect the toe part. The tightening belt 83 is fixedly connected to the ground-touching soft plate 81 on the opposite side of the shoe bag 82 to tighten the heel part.

[0029] The device is secured to the back of the Parkinson's patient via a shoulder strap 6. The first joint plate 2 and the second joint plate 3 are secured to the patient's thighs and calves via elastic buckles 5. Simultaneously, the patient's feet are inserted into the foot-wearing component 8 for fixation, ensuring the device is fully and securely worn on the patient's body. The first joint plate 2 and the second joint plate 3 follow the movement of the patient's leg joints. By adjusting the damping tightness of the first joint plate 2 and the second joint plate 3, the resistance to their movement is increased, allowing the patient's legs to be exercised. During squatting movements, the hydraulic buffer rod 7 supports the upper body weight, allowing for a slow descent and preventing the patient from suddenly falling due to lack of support. These exercises must be performed under supervision and assistance. This method effectively delays the onset of stiffness and inflexibility in the limbs and prevents the damage caused by normal gait training from exacerbating the disease's progression.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 , Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a stimulation component 9, which is provided on the elastic buckle 5; the stimulation component 9 includes a current pulse meter 91 and a contact 92. The current pulse meter 91 is installed on the elastic buckle 5, and the current pulse meter 91 has a contact 92 that passes through the elastic buckle 5. The contact 92 can contact the leg after the elastic buckle is fastened.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 7 As shown, it also includes a tipping warning component 10, which is installed on the shoulder strap 6. The tipping warning component 10 consists of a tilt sensor 101, a power bank 102, a buzzer 103, and a controller 104, all of which are installed on the shoulder strap 6. The tilt sensor 101 and the buzzer 103 are electrically connected to the controller 104. The controller 104 processes the horizontal angle value detected by the tilt sensor 101 and is powered by the power bank 102. It can be used for a short time without cables. The power bank 102 is electrically connected to the current pulse meter 91.

[0033] When Parkinson's patients are training, the current pulse device 91 can be selectively turned on to stimulate the skin nerves in the legs. By combining with the external guidance device, the prevention effect can be effectively improved. When Parkinson's patients are training alone, if the patient falls, the tilt sensor 101 will detect a drastic change in the horizontal angle and then the controller 104 will trigger the buzzer 103 to sound an alarm, alerting others that a patient has had an accident and thus receiving effective assistance.

[0034] Example 3

[0035] Based on Example 2, such asFigure 1 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, it also includes a hanger assembly 11, which is installed on the shoulder strap 6. The hanger assembly 11 includes a base 111, a support column 112, a guide rod 113, a sling 114, and bolts 116. The sling 114 is fixed to the shoulder strap 6 by bolts 116. The sling 114 is hung on the support frame composed of the base 111, the support column 112, and the guide rod 113. The base 111 is installed and fixed on the ground. The support column 112 is rotatably connected to the base 111. The guide rod 113 is horizontally fixed to the top of the support column 112, thereby forming the support frame.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 8 As shown, it also includes a slider 115, and the sling 114 is slidably connected to the bottom of the guide rod 113 via the slider 115 so that the sling 114 can slide on the guide rod 113.

[0037] When Parkinson's patients are training alone, the shoulder strap 6 can be hung on the guide bar 113 via the sling 114. The Parkinson's patients can walk indoors on their own, and the walking range is within a circle with the guide bar 113 as the radius. By sliding the sling 114 on the guide bar 113, they can obtain more freedom of movement. Even if the patient falls, the sling 114 will keep them suspended to ensure that the Parkinson's patients will not fall to the ground.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
