Mr DB has suffered from Parkinson’s disease for several years. Like many patients, he suffers from the debilitating effects of this neurodegenerative disease, particularly on his posture and walking abilities. Tremors, stiffness, and slow movements make every displacement more difficult. However, a valuable aid has allowed him to regain mobility and autonomy in his daily life: the Wheeleo®.
Mr. DB explains that the Wheeleo® has become the essential mobility aid that accompanies him everywhere. Unlike classic canes that require complex coordination of movements for alternating support, the Wheeleo® perfectly adapts to his way of walking.
Indeed, with Parkinson’s disease, walking is often characterized by a high step frequency and low amplitude. This complicates the use of a classic cane, as it is difficult to synchronize support. With the Wheeleo®, Mr. DB no longer worries about these difficulties. Regardless of his step cadence, even when passing through doors or obstacles, the Wheeleo® remains a constant support.
Another essential advantage of the Wheeleo® for Mr. DB is its ability to maintain permanent support without compromising walking. Even with a pronounced trunk inclination, the Wheeleo® is always at the right height to help him straighten up. Mr. DB specifies that he applies vertical pressure, just as with other mobility aids, without ever being unbalanced or “carried away” by the device. This makes it a particularly stable and secure tool.
Mr. DB’s testimony shows that the Wheeleo® stands out for its ease of use and stability, making it more suitable than classic aids in certain mobility situations. It doesn’t replace all aids, but it integrates perfectly into the range of solutions for people with walking difficulties. For Mr. DB, the Wheeleo® has become more than a tool: it’s a companion that allows him to move with confidence and autonomy.
