Benefits of Wheeleo® in Parkinson’s Disease

Why Wheeleo® is a Valuable Aid in Parkinson’s Disease… Even with an Immobilized Arm

In Parkinson’s disease, walking can become irregular, hesitant, sometimes blocked by episodes of freezing.
When arm immobilization is added — for example, a sling after a fall or surgery — the situation becomes even more complicated: inability to use a two-handed rollator, loss of balance, increased risk of falling, faster fatigue…

The video perfectly illustrates this scenario.
It shows a patient with Parkinson’s, arm in a sling, who still needs to move safely.

Only one Hand Available, but a Real Need for Support

With a walking stick, alternating movement and intermittent support require good coordination, which is often already impaired by Parkinson’s symptoms.
With a traditional walker, one-handed use becomes impossible.

The Wheeleo®: a Simple, Fluid, and Safe Solution

The patient places their hand on the Wheeleo® and immediately benefits from constant support, without having to lift or reposition the aid.
This reduces the cognitive load and allows them to focus on walking itself.

The video shows:

• smoother walking,
• a clear reduction in effort for both the patient and the caregiver,
• a more stable posture despite arm immobilization,
• easier assistance by caregivers.

The Wheeleo® thus becomes a particularly relevant mobility aid in situations where Parkinson’s disease limits motor control and only one hand remains available.
