Rehabilitation after lower limb amputation is a key step in regaining autonomy and a satisfactory quality of life. Once the prosthesis is fitted, patients must relearn how to walk, balance, transfer their weight, and regain confidence in their body. In this demanding journey, the Wheeleo® proves to be an excellent tool.
Unlike simple canes or crutches, the Wheeleo® combines the stability of a walking frame with the freedom of movement of a unilateral aid. Thanks to its four multidirectional wheels, it naturally accompanies the patient’s movements without disrupting the fluidity of walking.
This allows the person with the prosthesis to:
One of the major objectives of post-amputation rehabilitation is to actively reintegrate the prosthetic limb into walking. Too often, conventional aids (such as crutches) push patients to rely excessively on the healthy side. The Wheeleo® limits this compensatory effect by encouraging a more centered alignment of the trunk and a more balanced use of both lower limbs.
The Wheeleo® helps maintain a fluid walking rhythm, which is fundamental for strengthening motor automatisms and limiting cognitive efforts. Moreover, its stability reassures patients, reducing the fear of falling — an often underestimated factor that considerably slows functional progress.
By facilitating standing up, movement, and balance training, the Wheeleo® easily integrates into the different phases of rehabilitation. It allows for a natural progression towards more independent walking, complementing the work done with the physiotherapist.
