Wheeleo® or the Solution to the Falling Crutch

HomeBlog

Opening a door, disinfecting hands, grabbing an object… So many simple gestures that become complicated, even risky, when using a classic crutch. Simply leaning it against a wall to free your hands can be enough to make it fall to the ground.

It may not seem like much, but bending over to pick it up can expose the person to a loss of balance or a fall, especially if they already have a fragility or a walking disorder.

In this video, we show a concrete situation: an unstable crutch slips and falls as soon as it’s released. Next to it, the Wheeleo®, the one-handed walker, remains upright, stable, and immediately available.

Why Choose Wheeleo®?

Wheeleo® is:

  • A constant support, thanks to its four wheels that allow it to stay in place without tipping over.
  • One-handed use, freeing the other hand to easily perform everyday tasks.
  • More freedom, more fluidity in movements.
  • Less stress, and especially less risk of falling in situations of partial autonomy.

The gain is not only functional. It’s also psychological: the person feels more secure, more free, less dependent.

This simple example illustrates how the choice of walking aid has a direct impact on safety and quality of life in daily activities. The Wheeleo® provides a concrete answer to these challenges.
