This hemiplegic patient following a stroke uses a quad cane to walk. Despite progress made, several compensations persist: circumduction of the lower limb, asymmetrical posture, slowness and especially a 3-step gait pattern. These elements not only limit her fluidity but also her recovery potential.
In the comparative video, the change is visible as soon as the Wheeleo®, a one-handed walker, is introduced. On the left side of the screen, the gait naturally becomes more fluid. The 3-step pattern disappears spontaneously, giving way to a 2-step gait closer to the physiological model.
This technical improvement is accompanied by important secondary gains: better posture, increased walking speed, improved cadence and, most importantly, greater fluidity in movement.
The Wheeleo® does not replace the work of the physiotherapist, but optimizes motor learning conditions. It allows the patient to practice a more correct gait, without having to fight against her old compensations. This reinforces the fundamental principles of effective rehabilitation: intensity, repetition, and positive reinforcement.
In the short term, this change translates into more autonomy in movement: the patient can return to her room alone after a physiotherapy session or move within the department without constant assistance. A concrete step towards autonomy, which motivates and structures progress.
