Mr. B., a hemiplegic patient, is what one might call a “neighborhood walker”. Every day, he takes a tour of Josaphat Park (Brussels) with his Wheeleo®, not far from his home. He knows this park perfectly, its paths, and the quality of the ground on the different trails.
Facing his own difficulties related to hemiplegia, Mr. B. needs a smooth surface to walk correctly and safely. His Wheeleo®, a mobility aid tool, also requires this surface to roll smoothly.
He is not yet able to venture everywhere in the city, but this does not prevent him from going out regularly, enjoying his daily outings, and thus maintaining a valuable physical activity routine.
The Importance of Self-Rehabilitation
This clinical case perfectly illustrates the importance of personal and regular care in rehabilitation, often called self-rehabilitation.
Mr. B. of course benefits from daily physiotherapy follow-up, but it is the discipline and consistency of his daily walks that allow him to continue his progress and consolidate his gains, even after leaving the rehabilitation center.
Why Choose Wheeleo® in Case of Hemiplegia?
The Wheeleo® is particularly suitable as a mobility aid for hemiplegic patients. It offers stable support while promoting fluid and natural walking. It helps preserve autonomy and encourages regular physical activity essential for recovery.
Mr. B. shows us that despite limitations, mobility and the freedom to go out are possible, thanks to adapted tools and an active approach to daily rehabilitation.
