Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gait training technology for Parkinson's patients, specifically to a gait training balance device for Parkinson's patients. Background Technology

[0002] Parkinson's disease, also known as "tremor paralysis," is a neurodegenerative disease. Symptoms of Parkinson's disease vary, mainly manifesting as motor and non-motor symptoms. Motor symptoms include resting tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability. Non-motor symptoms primarily include constipation, olfactory dysfunction, sleep disturbances, autonomic dysfunction, and mental and cognitive impairments. Parkinson's patients often use gait training to improve their balance during rehabilitation.

[0003] Current training methods typically involve ground-based exercises, requiring assistance from family members or caregivers. However, this method is labor-intensive, and sometimes, due to the patient's weight, a single person may struggle to support them, raising safety concerns during training. Therefore, this paper proposes a gait training balance device for Parkinson's disease patients. Utility Model Content

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This gait training balance device for Parkinson's patients, through an adjustment mechanism, uses a threaded rod to drive a slider to rise and fall, which in turn drives the connecting frame to rise and fall, thereby adjusting the height between the two handrails. This facilitates the use of the handrails by patients of different heights. The adjustment component uses a double-ended threaded rod to drive two moving blocks to move, thereby adjusting the distance between the two handrails. This allows the handrails to be adjusted according to the distance between the patient's two arms, making it easier for different patients to use, reducing manual assistance, and improving the range of use and convenience of gait training for Parkinson's patients. Through a protective mechanism, the patient's body is fixed with straps to prevent falls, enhancing patient protection and improving the safety of the balance device for gait training of Parkinson's patients.
