Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-5In this embodiment of the utility model, a novel rehabilitation walking shoe includes a shoe body 1 and a wireless signal transceiver module 19. The bottom surface of the shoe body 1 is connected to a sole 2. A first airbag 6 is installed on the inner wall of the shoe body 1, and a second airbag 7 is installed on the upper surface of the sole 2. The upper surface of the sole 2 has grooves 20 arranged at equal intervals. A pressure sensor 5 is installed on the inner wall of each groove 20. A medicine bag 18 is connected to the inner wall of the shoe body 1. A central processing unit 14 is connected to the left side of the shoe body 1. A charging port 22 is provided on the outer surface of the shoe body 1. Through the coordinated work of various components, the shoe integrates rehabilitation assistance, safety alarm, and comfortable wear, providing a better walking experience for the rehabilitation patient. This solves the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the current ankle joint rehabilitation mainly relying on plaster fixation, ordinary braces, and passive physiotherapy, which have poor fixation effect, long rehabilitation cycle, and lack of active intervention. Plaster fixation has poor breathability, is inconvenient to move, and cannot meet the dynamic needs of different stages of rehabilitation; ordinary braces only provide static support and are difficult to achieve personalized rehabilitation.

[0025] An indicator light 3 and an alarm sound 4 are installed on the front of the shoe body 1. An air inlet 21 is opened on the right side of the shoe body 1. An air pump 8 is embedded in the inner wall of the shoe body 1. The output end of the air pump 8 is connected to two air ducts 9. The ends of the two air ducts 9 away from the air pump 8 are respectively connected to the first airbag 6 and the second airbag 7. Solenoid valves 10 are installed on the outer surface of the two air ducts 9. Two Velcro straps 16 are installed on the outer surface of the shoe body 1. Two connecting straps 11 are connected to the outer surface of the shoe body 1. Velcro 12 is connected to the back of each connecting strap 11. This not only makes people more comfortable when wearing the device, but also makes it easier for people to put on the shoes.

[0026] A control switch 15 and a battery 13 are installed on the left side of the shoe body 1. The sole 2 has anti-slip texture 17. The battery 13 is electrically connected to the indicator light 3, alarm sound 4, air pump 8, wireless signal transceiver module 19, three pressure sensors 5 and the control switch 15 via wires. The central processing unit 14 is electrically connected to the indicator light 3, alarm sound 4, air pump 8, wireless signal transceiver module 19 and solenoid valve 10 via wires. The three pressure sensors 5 are all electrically connected to the central processing unit 14 via wires. This not only enables convenient start-up and shutdown of the equipment and power management, ensuring the stable operation of various electronic components, but also effectively enhances ground grip, reduces the risk of slipping when walking, and improves the safety of use.

[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, people can wear shoes and tighten them using Velcro 12 and Velcro 16. Pressure sensor 5 in the groove 20 of the sole 2 collects pressure data of each area of ​​the foot in real time and transmits the signal to the central processing unit 14. The central processing unit 14 analyzes and processes the pressure data and judges whether the pressure distribution is reasonable according to the preset algorithm. When the pressure is abnormal, the central processing unit 14 controls the indicator light 3 to light up and the alarm sound 4 to sound. At the same time, it sends alarm information to external devices through the wireless signal transceiver module 19. Then, the central processing unit 14 will also adjust the working state of the air pump 8 and the solenoid valve 10 according to the pressure data, and inflate and deflate the first airbag 6 and the second airbag 7 through the air duct 9.
