Technology helps older people move: active walking exoskeletons are on the horizon

2023-08-17

The elderly are a valuable asset of society, however, the inmobility has become a major obstacle to their enjoyment of life. Fortunately, Xepeng Technology has introduced its disruptive active walking exoskeleton technology, which brings new hope for mobility for the elderly. Let's explore this exciting technological innovation.

First, the aging problem is getting worse

According to the NHC, by the end of 2021, there will be 267 million people aged 60 or above, accounting for 18.9 percent of the total population. The number of elderly people aged 65 and above exceeds 200 million, accounting for 14.2 percent of the total population. It is estimated that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the total number of elderly people aged 60 and above will exceed 300 million, accounting for more than 20%, and enter the stage of moderate aging.

Around 2035, the elderly population aged 60 and above will exceed 400 million, accounting for more than 30% of the total population, entering the stage of severe aging.

Mobility difficulties in the elderly mainly include unsteady gait, decreased muscle strength, joint pain and so on. These problems cause the elderly to have difficulty moving in their daily lives, to be prone to falls and injuries, and to lose their independence and quality of life.

Third, active walking exoskeleton and the future

Active walking exoskeleton technology has multiple advantages. First, it is able to provide personalized strength support based on the mobility needs of the elderly to help them regain mobility. Secondly, the technology has an intelligent control system that can monitor the gait and posture of the elderly in real time, providing accurate power regulation and balance control. In addition, the lightweight design and comfortable performance of the exoskeleton device can provide a comfortable wearing experience and reduce the additional burden on the elderly.

Active walking exoskeleton technology has a broad application prospect in dealing with aging problems. As the technology continues to advance, the active walking exoskeleton will further improve its performance and function, providing better mobility support and protection for the elderly. At the same time, the technology is also expected to play an important role in rehabilitation medicine, nursing services and other fields, bringing positive impact on the health and quality of life of the elderly.

Openg's active walking exoskeleton technology provides an innovative solution to the challenges of aging. By providing personalized strength support and balance regulation, the technology can help older adults improve mobility and improve quality of life. We look forward to the continuous development of this technology to make greater contributions to the health and well-being of the elderly."
