[0028] The waist protection device 6 is provided at the lower end of the traction rope 5 and is used to support and protect the patient's waist.

[0029] It should be noted that, when working, the patient stands on the walking device 1, and then the waist protection device 6 is fixed to the patient's waist for fixation, and then the first power member 2 including but not limited to the cylinder, the electric push rod, and the linear guide rail are used to drive the top frame 4 to move up, so that the traction rope 5 lifts the waist protection device 6, so that the waist protection device 6 can pull up the patient's waist to a certain extent, and then the patient walks on the walking device 1. The plantar pressure sensor 17 can detect the pressure between the two soles of the feet, and the patient's balance ability can be tested during the walking process. When the patient tilts on the walking device 1, the plantar pressure sensor 17 detects the pressure on both sides of the soles of the feet. The pressure changes greatly, and then the plantar pressure sensor 17 transmits the signal to the PLC controller component, the PLC controller component opens the support device 3, and then the support device 3 moves upward. At this time, the patient can place his arms on the support device 3 to support the patient's shoulders. The device can accurately monitor and record the patient's foot pressure distribution and changes in real time, so as to control the support device 3 to support and protect the patient. The device can be adjusted according to the patient's dynamics to provide a more practical test environment, avoid continuous support for the patient, and affect the test results of the patient's balance ability. It can exercise the patient's balance ability and is beneficial to the recovery of the leg muscles of middle-aged and elderly patients.
