Some simple everyday gestures become real challenges when one has balance disorders or weakness on one side of the body. However, rediscovering pleasure in movement is an essential driver of rehabilitation.
In this video filmed in a rehabilitation center, we observe a post-stroke patient engaged in a playful activity: passing a football. The objective of the exercise? To work on balance, coordination, postural reactions, and attention, while stimulating motivation through play.
The patient uses a Wheeleo®, a one-handed walker designed to provide continuous support while freeing the other hand to interact with the environment. Unlike classic aids such as a cane or a rollator, the Wheeleo® remains mobile and fluid, without breaking the natural rhythm of movement.
During the exercise, the patient performs weight transfers, engages the trunk, coordinates his movements, and adjusts his posture in real time to control the ball. The Wheeleo® follows these adjustments without hindering the gestures. It accompanies the movements without imposing interruptions, which is particularly interesting for dynamic exercises.
This type of situation clearly shows that walking aids are not only intended for walking in a straight line. They can and should adapt to the real functional needs of patients, especially when integrated into varied and engaging activities.
The Wheeleo® here allows for a rare compromise: support and freedom of movement. It supports posture without stiffening the body, allowing the patient to focus on the quality of movement.
