Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of geriatric rehabilitation training technology, and more specifically, relates to a rehabilitation training auxiliary device for elderly frail patients. Background Technology

[0002] Geriatric frailty refers to a specific state in which the physiological reserves of the elderly gradually decline. Its physiological characteristics include decreased physiological function, reduced stress resistance, and weakened muscle strength and endurance. Due to this decline in physiological function, patients with geriatric frailty often experience poor balance, making them prone to falls. This not only hinders their daily lives but also places a burden on their families. Therefore, it is necessary to implement balance training programs for geriatric frailty patients, such as sitting up, standing, lifting their legs to take steps, walking sideways, and catching objects, to improve their balance.

[0003] Current methods for balance training in frail elderly patients involve using assistive devices to help them walk, aiming to reduce muscle atrophy and improve walking stability and muscle mass. However, these devices lack adequate safety features for frail patients, relying excessively on caregivers and reducing their independence and autonomy during training. This makes it difficult to fully guarantee their safety during training. Therefore, existing assistive devices are still not conducive to balance training in frail elderly patients and require further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that existing rehabilitation assistive devices lack corresponding protective designs for elderly and frail patients, resulting in reduced independence and autonomy in their training and difficulty in ensuring the safety of their training.
