An Unexpected Improvement, Two Years after the Stroke

This patient has had left hemiplegia for two years. He uses a quad cane daily, with a stagnant walking speed for several months. This apparent stability suggested that his progress was limited by neurological sequelae.

An Immediate Change with the Wheeleo®

From the first steps with the Wheeleo®, the observation is clear:

• The two-step gait spontaneously replaces the compensatory three-step pattern.
• The cadence increases, steps are longer, and symmetry improves.
• The walking speed increases significantly, without particular effort.

An Enlightening Conclusion

It wasn’t his motor skills that were limiting him, but rather the tool used. The quad cane, often chosen for its apparent stability, proves counterproductive in certain situations, particularly when it hinders the natural dynamics of walking.

Even several years after a stroke, functional improvement remains possible if the appropriate technical aid is chosen.

Why the Wheeleo®?

Designed for people with hemiparesis, the Wheeleo® is a one-handed walker that combines:

• A constant ground support, ensuring stability,
• Unilateral use, adapted to hemiplegia,
• And freedom of movement comparable to that of a cane.

It thus offers the advantages of a rollator, without imposing its constraints.
