The Wheeleo®: The Walking Aid Designed for Oncology
What Are the Impacts of Cancer and Its Treatment on Mobility?
Did you know that up to 80% of cancer patients suffer from mobility issues due to the disease or side effects of treatments? Between pain, loss of balance, and intense fatigue, moving around becomes a real challenge, whether in the hospital or at home.
Depending on the location of the tumor and the type of treatment received, patients may experience:
- Muscle, bone, or joint pain.
- Nervous system disorders, causing loss of strength, altered sensations, or coordination difficulties.
- Extreme fatigue and generalized weakness.
- Balance problems, increasing the risk of falls.
- Cardiorespiratory issues, making movement more strenuous.
Under these conditions, staying active is essential but often complicated.
However, physical activity plays a major role in managing cancer and its side effects.
Why Is It Essential to Keep Moving?
Exercise therapy is now recognized for its health benefits for cancer patients. It helps fight against the side effects of treatments, maintain a certain level of autonomy and quality of life, and reduce the risk of relapse.
But how can one stay active when every movement becomes a challenge? This is where an adapted mobility aid can make all the difference.
The Wheeleo®: Reliable and Practical Daily Support
When weakened by cancer and its treatments, it’s common to rely on furniture, the bed, or a loved one to move around. However, these solutions are neither safe nor practical in the long term.
The Wheeleo® offers an effective alternative:
- Constant and secure support: Unlike a classic cane, it doesn’t fall and is always ready for use.
- Optimal maneuverability: More compact than a walker, it allows for easy movement in narrow spaces such as bedrooms, bathrooms, or hospital corridors.
- One-handed use: Ideal for keeping one hand free to open a door, carry a glass of water, or push an IV stand.
By facilitating movement, the Wheeleo® helps preserve autonomy while reducing the risk of falls and fatigue associated with constant adjustments.
A Tool Designed for Patients’ Daily Lives
Whether it’s going to the bathroom, walking to the kitchen, or getting out of bed, the Wheeleo® adapts to patients’ needs. Its intelligent design ensures constant support, regardless of walking pace, minimal bulk perfect for use at home or in care centers, and reassuring stability that restores confidence in movement.
