[0042] Two pillars 200 are connected to either side of the front end of the base 100 and extend upward. These pillars 200 serve as a fixed foundation for the upper components of the balance training device. The angles of the pillars 200 can be varied, depending on actual use and the shape of the subsequent handrail bend 300.

[0043] The two handrail elbows 300 consist of interconnected transverse tubes 310 and support tubes 320. Each transverse tube 310 is vertically hinged to the upper end of the support column 200, allowing the entire handrail elbow 300 to rotate upward and downward vertically based on the support column 200. The free ends of the support tubes 320 abut against the support column 200, restricting downward rotation of the handrail elbow 300. A first pressure sensor 311 is provided on the transverse tube 310 to monitor the user's grip on the transverse tube 310. A second pressure sensor 321 is provided on the free end of the support tube 320 to monitor the downward pressure applied by the user to the handrail elbow 300. The first and second pressure sensors 311 and 321 can determine whether the user is using the handrail elbow 300 for auxiliary support and provide two different auxiliary support modes, enabling better monitoring of the user's condition.

A pedal 500 is disposed above the base 100. The upper ends of the push rods 400 are hinged to the pedal 500. The push rods 400 can be powered by pneumatic drive, hydraulic drive, motor drive, etc. When the extension degrees of the multiple push rods 400 are adaptively adjusted, the angle of the pedal 500 can be adjusted in various ways to simulate various usage conditions.

[0045] The processor is electrically connected to the first pressure sensor 311 and the second pressure sensor 321 and controls the operation of the push rod 400. The processor receives data from the first pressure sensor 311 and the second pressure sensor 321 and can also adjust the operation of the push rod 400 based on the data from the first pressure sensor 311 and the second pressure sensor 321.

[0046] The alarm is electrically connected to the processor, and the processor can control whether the alarm is working according to the data of the first pressure sensor 311 and the second pressure sensor 321.

[0064] In one embodiment, a rear armrest is provided extending upward from the rear end of the base 100 .

[0065] In this embodiment, in order to deal with the risk of the user falling backward, a rear armrest is extended upward from the rear end of the base 100, which provides the user with a handhold when necessary, thereby improving the safety of the entire balance training device.
