[0002] Parkinson's disease is a common neurodegenerative disease in middle-aged and elderly. Frozen gait is a common motor symptom in the late stage of Parkinson's disease, which is an abnormal gait type of "subjectively wanting to walk, but appearing transiently unable to step or pace significantly insufficient". Frozen gait occurs at the beginning of starting or turning, and can also occur when passing through a narrow passage, and gradually develops into walking straight. Frozen gait can cause the center of gravity of the human body to move forward, but the feet remain in place, thereby losing balance and causing falls, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients.

[0003] A current exercise method for helping patients recover is based on the principle of high leg training and visual prompting of gait rehabilitation: consciously lifting the leg when walking, crossing the line set in front, which can effectively improve frozen gait. Based on this, a Parkinson's disease frozen gait auxiliary walking tool is proposed, which is convenient to use. SUMMARY

[0033] As Figs. 1-2 shown, a kind of Parkinson's disease frozen gait auxiliary walking tool, including body;Indicator rod 2 at least two, swing relative to body 1 setting, two indicator rods 2 are at the same height position, two indicator rods 2 are interval set, with gap 3 between.

[0034] In the embodiment, in order to solve the problem that the walking aid in the prior art lacks mechanism for assisting rehabilitation exercise, two symmetrical indicator rods 2 are arranged on the body 1, which are used as "set lines". When the patient walks, he / she only needs to lift his / her leg and cross the steel bar to achieve the effect of taking a step. Since the indicator rods 2 can swing freely and there is a gap 3, the patient will not stumble. Therefore, the walking tool meets the conditions for family gait training rehabilitation and improvement of frozen gait, and is convenient for the patient to use for rehabilitation training.

[0035] Specifically, the body 1 can be made of lightweight and strong aluminum alloy material, and has a long strip-shaped rod structure with a length of about 1 meter to 1.5 meters. The surface is treated with anti-slip, such as covered with a layer of rubber texture coating. The aluminum alloy material ensures the lightness and durability of the tool, which is convenient for the patient to carry and use. The long strip-shaped rod structure is convenient for the patient to hold, and the anti-slip treatment can effectively prevent the patient from slipping due to hand tremor during holding, improving the safety and stability of use.

[0036] The indicator rod 2 is made of plastic material, with a length of about 30 centimeters and a diameter of 2 centimeters. It is connected to the body 1 by a hinge or other structure and can swing left and right in the horizontal direction, with a swing angle range of 0 to 60 degrees. The plastic material reduces the overall weight and reduces the burden on the patient. The specific length and diameter design make it more obvious visually, which is convenient for the patient to focus on the line of sight when walking. The swingable feature can stimulate the patient's visual and motor nerves by slightly swinging the indicator rod 2 when the patient has frozen gait, guiding the footstep to restart and breaking the frozen state.

[0037] In addition, the body 1 can be adjusted in height according to the height of the patient, and the upper segment positions of the four vertical ground support frames are connected by thick and thin steel bars in an inserted manner. The thick steel bar has eight round holes, and the thin steel bar has resilient metal buttons embedded in the round holes of the thick steel bar. The buttons can be pressed by force to adjust the height, and each hole is about 5 cm apart, suitable for people of 140-190 cm in height.

[0038] Further, the mobile piece 4 is movably arranged on the body 1, and the indicating rod 2 is arranged on the mobile piece 4.

[0039] In this embodiment, the mobile piece 4 is a slider with a sliding groove that matches the guide rail on the body 1 and can smoothly move along the length direction of the body 1. The mobile piece 4 is fixed at the bottom of the indicating rod 2, so that the indicating rod 2 can move with the mobile piece 4. To adapt to the different courses of assisted walking, the indicating rod 2 can be adjusted in height according to the height of the patient's leg lifting.

[0040] Further, the elastic member one 5 is arranged on the mobile piece 4 and the indicating rod 2, and is used to provide the force for swinging and restoring the indicating rod 2. Each indicating rod 2 corresponds to one elastic member one 5.

[0041] In this embodiment, the elastic member one 5 is a spiral spring, one end of which is fixed on the mobile piece 4, and the other end is connected to the indicating rod 2. The stiffness coefficient of the spring is moderate, which keeps the indicating rod 2 horizontal in the natural state, and can quickly restore to the initial position by the elastic force of the spring after the indicating rod 2 is swung by external force, so as to prepare for the next swing, ensuring the continuity and effectiveness of the assisted walking.

[0042] Further, the mobile piece 4 has a plurality of limiting holes 6, and the limiting holes 6 are distributed at intervals. The telescopic member 7 is movably arranged on the body 1, and the moving direction of the telescopic member 7 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the mobile piece 4. The telescopic member 7 is extended or cancelled to clamp or unclamp the limiting hole 6.

[0043] In this embodiment, five limiting holes 6 are uniformly distributed on one side of the mobile piece 4, and the limiting holes 6 are circular with a diameter of 5 mm and a depth of 10 mm. These limiting holes 6 are equidistantly arranged along the moving direction of the mobile piece 4, and the distance between adjacent limiting holes 6 is 5 cm. The arrangement of multiple limiting holes 6 provides multiple choices for the fixation of the mobile piece 4 on the body 1. The patient can adjust the mobile piece 4 to the appropriate position, and then realize accurate fixation through the cooperation of the telescopic member 7 and the limiting hole 6, so as to avoid accidental sliding of the mobile piece 4 during walking, ensure the stability of the position of the indicating rod 2, and thus stably assist the patient to walk.

[0044] Further, the telescopic member 7 has a stop edge 8, and further comprises a second elastic member 9, one end of the second elastic member 9 acting on the stop edge 8, and the other end acting on the body 1, for providing a force for returning the telescopic member 7 after telescoping.

[0045] In the embodiment, when it is necessary to adjust the position of the indicator rod 2, the telescopic member 7 can be telescoped to disengage from the limiting hole 6, and the operation is simple and convenient. The cooperation of the stop edge 8 and the second elastic member 9 enables the telescopic member 7 to automatically return after telescoping operation, and facilitates the next locking operation.

[0046] Further, the telescopic member 7 further has a receiving groove 10, and further comprises a receiving box 11, which is arranged on the body 1 and located above the moving member 4; an auxiliary push rod 12 is placed in the receiving box 11, for pushing the receiving groove 10 to make the telescopic member 7 disengage from the limiting hole 6.

[0047] In the embodiment, the rectangular receiving groove 10 provides a suitable acting position for the auxiliary push rod 12, when it is necessary to unlock the telescopic member 7, the auxiliary push rod 12 is inserted into the receiving groove 10 and exerts a pushing force, which can accurately make the telescopic member 7 telescope to disengage from the limiting hole 6, and realize the adjustment of the position of the moving member 4, and the smooth design of the inner wall thereof reduces the friction force during operation, and makes the unlocking process more smooth.

[0048] The receiving box 11 made of plastic material is relatively light, and does not excessively increase the overall weight of the tool. The suitable internal dimension thereof ensures that the auxiliary push rod 12 can be properly placed and is not easy to fall off, and the buckle structure facilitates installation and disassembly, and facilitates processing when the receiving box 11 is damaged or needs to be cleaned. At the same time, the position close to the telescopic member 7 is arranged to facilitate the patient to quickly take out the auxiliary push rod 12 for operation when it is necessary to adjust the position of the indicator rod 2.
