Traumatic brain injury is one of the main causes of neurological damage, often resulting in sequelae such as hemiplegia. Unlike a stroke, where brain lesions are generally more localized, injuries caused by traumatic brain injury can be diffuse and affect multiple areas of the brain. This can lead to a variety of symptoms, ranging from motor disorders to cognitive and communication problems.
Why is the Wheeleo® well-suited for individuals with traumatic brain injury?
The Wheeleo® proves to be particularly well-adapted for patients suffering from hemiplegia, a condition often resulting from traumatic brain injury.
When a person has hemiplegia, they may not have functionality in both hands due to paralysis.
In this context, the Wheeleo® offers the advantage of walking assistance similar to that of a rollator, while having a reduced size, comparable to that of a cane. This design allows the user to benefit from constant and secure support while maintaining great freedom of movement.
Moreover, the Wheeleo® facilitates movement coordination, as it requires less effort to maneuver than a traditional rollator.
This is particularly beneficial for patients who may have difficulty concentrating on their balance while walking, allowing them to move more easily and safely.
In summary, the Wheeleo® is an innovative walking aid that effectively meets the needs of people suffering from traumatic brain injury, thus promoting their autonomy and quality of life.
