[0023] The adjustment component includes a hydraulic lifting rod, a microcontroller 6, and an image sensor 8 that can collect images of the patient's height. The microcontroller 6 is arranged on the bottom support frame. The upper part of the hydraulic rod 7 is connected to the lower end of the top support frame 2, and the lower part is arranged in the bottom support frame. The image sensor 8 is arranged on the top support frame 2. The image sensor 8 and the hydraulic lifting rod are both connected to the microcontroller 6 by telecommunication. The image sensor 8 collects image information of the human body and transmits it to the microcontroller 6. The microcontroller 6 transmits the information to the hydraulic lifting rod. When the patient's body is too high, the microcontroller 6 transmits the information to the hydraulic lifting rod to make it drive the top support frame 2 to rise; when the patient's body is shorter, the microcontroller 6 transmits the information to the hydraulic lifting rod to make it drive the top support frame 2 to descend;

[0024] The guardrail 4 is provided with a support plate 9 that can bear the upper body of the patient and a rubber pad 10 that makes the user comfortable and prevents the patient from sliding. The rubber pad 10 is arranged on the upper surface of the support plate 9 .

[0025] In this embodiment, the balancing component includes an acceleration sensor 12 for detecting the moving speed of the device and an electronic brake 11 that can automatically brake when the speed is too fast.

[0031] In this embodiment, the model of the microcontroller 6 is AT89C2051 or TMS320VC5509A.

[0032] In the specific implementation of this embodiment:

[0033] When the Parkinson's disease patient has upper body weakness and can walk with hands, he can directly hold any position of the top support frame 2 to walk; when the Parkinson's disease patient has upper body weakness and cannot walk with hands, the upper body can lean on the support plate 9 to exercise walking; when it is necessary to sit down, the guardrail 4 is opened, and the guardrail 4 is closed after sitting inside. At this time, if walking by oneself, the button handbrake 18 can be used to stop, and if family members push the car, the mechanical handbrake 16 can be used to stop; during the exercise, the acceleration sensor 12 detects the overall movement speed in real time. When the movement speed is too fast, the microcontroller 6 transmits information to the electronic handbrake, so that the electronic handbrake is braked to control the speed within the set speed range.
