[0002] Osteoporosis is a systemic bone disease caused by a variety of factors, resulting in decreased bone density and quality, destruction of bone microstructure, and increased bone fragility, making it prone to fractures. Osteoporosis is divided into two main categories: primary and secondary. Primary osteoporosis is further divided into three types: postmenopausal osteoporosis, senile osteoporosis, and idiopathic osteoporosis.
[0003] Fall prevention equipment is designed to help elderly people with mobility issues or those who have lost the ability to walk to take care of themselves and go out for walks like able-bodied people, through the support of the equipment.
[0004] However, traditional fall prevention devices for osteoporosis in the elderly are not suitable for elderly people of different heights due to the varying armpit heights. This results in a narrow range of applicability for the devices. Utility Model Content
