Embodiments of the invention disclose a method for detecting handholding of a handlebar and corresponding walking auxiliary equipment thereof. The detecting method comprises the following steps: at least two contacts made of conductive material are provided, including a first contact and a second contact; the first contact is connected to one end point of a voltage dividing circuit, the second contact is connected to the circuit ground; the voltage dividing circuit is connected to a switching circuit, which is turned on or off according to the output of the voltage dividing circuit; and the switching circuit is connected to a micro control unit controller, which determines whether the hand holds the handlebar based on the change of the switching circuit. The method for detecting handholding of a handlebar adopted by the embodiments of the invention skillfully utilizes the resistance characteristic of the human body to accurately and effectively determine whether the two hands have heldthe handlebar, and can recognize whether the hands holding the handlebars belong to the same person, thereby effectively improving the safety performance of walking auxiliary equipment.
