This device is convenient for patients to use, reduces the workload of caregivers, has high safety performance, and possesses certain therapeutic functions.

[0004] The aforementioned mechanism uses the cooperation between the lower limb fixation box and the lower limb fixation slot to fix the affected limb. However, in actual use, this fixation method is prone to causing swelling of the affected limb, affecting the patient's comfort. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a walking aid for patients with lower limb fractures, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that traditional walking aids are not convenient to support the affected limb during use, which leads to swelling of the affected limb and affects comfort.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a walking aid for patients with lower limb fractures, comprising a support frame, a connecting rod provided on one side between the support frames, and a rubber anti-slip layer sleeved on the upper end of the support frame; a mounting rod is bolted to one end between the support frames, and a support mechanism for placing the affected limb is provided on the outer side of the mounting rod, the support mechanism including a placement frame, the placement frame being located on the right side of the mounting rod, and an elastic limiting band being provided on the outer side of the placement frame; a fixing frame is provided on the outer side of the rubber anti-slip layer, and a limiting mechanism for increasing grip comfort is provided on the inner side of the fixing frame.

[0007] Furthermore, a limiting plate is provided on the side of the support frame, and the limiting plate is located on the right side of the mounting rod, while a locking mechanism for fixing the limiting plate is provided on the left side of the mounting rod.

[0008] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes a fastening bolt, which is threaded to the outside of the mounting rod. The mounting rod is provided with threaded grooves in different directions, and the fastening bolt is threaded to the threaded grooves.

[0009] Furthermore, the placement frame is located on the right side of the limiting plate, and the length of the placement frame is less than the length of one end of the support frame.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom end of the support frame is provided with an anti-slip mechanism, and the anti-slip mechanism includes a fixed base, which is threadedly connected to the bottom end of the support frame. The bottom end of the fixed base is provided with an anti-slip protrusion, and the cross-section of the anti-slip protrusion is fan-shaped.

[0011] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism includes an elastic airbag, which is disposed inside the fixed frame. A movable plate is disposed on the right side of the elastic airbag, and the movable plate is slidably connected to the fixed frame. An inflatable soft bag is disposed on the right side of the movable plate, and the elastic airbag and the inflatable soft bag are connected by a hose.

[0012] Furthermore, connecting springs are provided at both the front and rear ends of the left side of the movable plate, and the left side of the connecting springs is connected to the inner side of the fixed frame.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. When the patient sits down, the support frame can be flipped open and the affected limb placed on top of the support frame. By raising the affected limb, the swelling of the affected limb can be prevented from worsening. The mounting rod is connected to the support frame with bolts. The mounting rod can be installed in a suitable position according to the specific condition of the patient's affected limb.

[0015] Furthermore, when it is necessary to flip the mounting rod and the placement frame, the fastening bolts are separated from the threaded groove, and then the placement frame is flipped. When the affected limb needs to be placed, the placement frame is flipped to a horizontal position, so that the affected limb can be placed more comfortably. When the support frame is needed to assist walking, the placement frame is flipped to a vertical position to complete the folding and storage.

[0016] Furthermore, after the patient places the affected limb on top of the placement frame, the limb can be bound and fixed by the elastic limiting strap to prevent the limb from shifting during placement. After the angle of the placement frame is adjusted, the angle of the placement frame can be fixed by the threaded connection between the fastening bolt and the threaded groove, increasing its applicability during use.

[0017] 2. The threaded connection between the support frame and the fixed base allows for the replacement of the fixed base, enabling timely replacement after wear and tear from prolonged use, thus ensuring the safety of the walker during use. The anti-slip protrusions at the bottom of the fixed base enhance its anti-slip and wear-resistant properties, preventing slippage and increasing the walker's versatility.

[0018] Furthermore, the user needs to hold the outer side of the rubber anti-slip layer with their hand. The side of the fingers will apply a certain pressure to the moving plate, causing the moving plate to move away from the rubber anti-slip layer. The elastic airbag on the side of the moving plate is subjected to force and the gas is delivered to the inside of the inflatable soft bag, which increases the gas inside the inflatable soft bag and makes it fit better with the outside of the fingers, thereby increasing the anti-slip stability of the walker when used.

After the patient places the affected limb on top of the placement frame 12, the elastic limiting strap 13 can bind and fix the affected limb, preventing... To prevent the affected limb from shifting during placement; the support frame 1 is connected to the limiting plate 14. When it is necessary to flip the mounting rod 11 and the placement frame 12, the fastening bolt 15 is separated from the threaded groove 16, and then the placement frame 12 is flipped. When the affected limb needs to be placed, the placement frame 12 is flipped to a horizontal position, so that the affected limb can be placed more comfortably.
