Walking aid for Guillain-Barré syndrome

Guillain-Barré syndrome generally evolves positively when walking is resumed. It is characterized by bilateral damage which, among other things, affects pelvic stability during walking.

The use of a 4-wheel rollator is a good solution to help the patient. Its assistance is substantial, continuous (support 100% of the time), bilateral, …

However, at different stages of rehabilitation, the use of the Wheeleo® walker can be beneficial:

  • Less supportive than a rollator, the Wheeleo® will stimulate the patient. The walk will be more intense. The patient will have to make a greater effort. Nevertheless, the Wheeleo®, unlike traditional canes, offers constant support. Whether the patient is leaning on his right or left leg, he provides assistance. It allows you to set the right intensity for your walk. Neither too difficult (poor walking quality) nor too easy (not stimulating).
  • As the patient’s motor skills improve, the Wheeleo® can advantageously replace the rollator for functional movements on smooth surfaces. Indeed, the Wheeleo® provides stability and fluidity in walking while freeing up a hand for functional activities (opening a door, carrying a newspaper, pouring a glass of water). It’s easier to handle than its classic rollator counterpart.
  • With the aim of weaning off mobility aids, the Wheeleo® handle can be set quite high to provide proprioceptive information without giving too much support. It’s in this situation that the patient comes closest to walking without anything.

The Wheeleo® is an integral part of the range of mobility aids. It’s part of the therapist’s toolbox.
