摘要: A walking aid (100, 200) has been configured with static padding (112) and air bags (114) to protect the user in case of a fall. The are generally not deployed. However, tilt sensor (128) which, when fall is detected, triggers bag ignitors (116). In one embodiment, may comprise or an array sensors, further be coupled through microprocessor control dynamic active suspension ( 102) that controls both height walker individual legs such will land softly, while adjusting leg heights where necessary appropriate stabilize reduce chance addition providing more extensive protection for user, several additional options which increase comfort convenience it offers.
