[0002] An armpit cane is a single-arm walking aid that uses the armpit and hand for support. It is commonly used by the elderly, patients, and people with disabilities. Users can choose an armpit cane of a suitable length according to their own condition.

[0003] Currently, elderly people with mobility issues often use canes to assist with walking. When using a cane, they can occasionally rest their hands or temporarily use an armpit support, freeing their hands to complete simple tasks. It also offers high stability. However, canes are relatively bulky and have an unattractive appearance, so they are rarely used by the elderly. In addition, the length of existing canes cannot be adjusted, making it more troublesome to choose one, and it is difficult to find a cane that is very suitable for one's height, thus reducing the user's comfort.

[0028] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model discloses an easily adjustable axillary cane for elderly rehabilitation, comprising a support leg 1. An L-shaped rod 2 is connected to the top of the support leg 1 via a first length adjustment structure 8. A diagonal rod 3 is provided at the horizontal end of the L-shaped rod 2. An axillary support rod 4 is connected to the top of the diagonal rod 3 via a second length adjustment structure 9. A foot pad 6 is provided at the bottom of the support leg 1, and a handle 7 is provided at the horizontal part of the L-shaped rod 2. Through the cooperation between the axillary support rod 4, the diagonal rod 3, and the L-shaped rod 2, the arm and wrist can be kept in a comfortable position, avoiding wrist flexion and fatigue injury. The axillary support rod 4 consists of a diagonal support rod and a horizontal rod, which are aligned with the diagonal rod 3. A protective sleeve 5, made of soft EVA foam, is fitted onto the horizontal rod and the diagonal support rod. The protective sleeve 5 reduces pressure and friction on the chest, armpit, and brachial plexus nerves. The handle 7 is made of engineering plastic and foam. The foam sleeve is on the outside of the engineering plastic, reducing pain and numbness caused by long-term pressure from hard plastic on the palm, and has good sweat absorption and anti-slip properties. Foot pad 6 has a conical structure with a small top and a large bottom, and is made of rubber material, which increases friction and improves stability.

[0029] The first length adjustment structure 8 includes a screw 10 and a threaded sleeve 11. The top end of the screw 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the vertical part of the L-shaped rod 2. The bottom of the threaded sleeve 11 is rotatably connected to the top end of the support leg 1. The top end of the support leg 1 is provided with a movable cavity 14. The inside of the threaded sleeve 11 is provided with a threaded cavity 13 that is threadedly connected to the screw 10, and the threaded cavity 13 is connected to the movable cavity 14. The structure of the second length adjustment structure 9 is the same as that of the first length adjustment structure 8. The screw 10 is slidably connected to the movable cavity 14, and the surface of the threaded sleeve 11 is provided with anti-slip texture. By rotating the threaded sleeve 11 on the first length adjustment structure 8, the screw 10 drives the L-shaped rod. 2. The height of the handle 7 can be adjusted by moving it up and down. By rotating the threaded sleeve 11 of the second length adjustment structure 9, the screw 10 drives the axillary support rod 4 to move up and down, thereby flexibly adjusting the height of the horizontal part of the axillary support rod 4 so that the horizontal part of the axillary support rod 4 is just under the patient's armpit. At the same time, the patient's hand can comfortably hold the handle 7, which greatly improves the patient's comfort. This also makes the axillary cane suitable for people of different heights, greatly improving its utilization rate, practicality, and simple and quick adjustment. In addition, the adjustment by the thread means that the movement range is small, which makes it easy for the user to quickly adjust to the appropriate position. The two side walls of the screw 10 are provided with limit grooves 12 along its length direction. The two side inner walls of the movable cavity 14 are provided with limit strips 15 corresponding to the limit grooves 12. The limit strips 15 are slidably connected to the limit grooves 12. Through the cooperation between the limit strips 15 and the limit grooves 12, the screw 10 is limited so that when the threaded sleeve 11 is rotated, the screw 10 can only move up and down.

[0030] By combining the support leg 1, L-shaped bar 2, diagonal bar 3 and armpit support bar 4, the structure of the existing armpit cane is simplified, making the armpit cane lighter, easier to use, more aesthetically pleasing than traditional armpit canes, more in line with the psychology and aesthetics of the elderly, and safe and reliable.
