Thanks to this device, Jade walks <strong>three times faster<\/strong>, and this in a completely spontaneous manner. <\/p>\n\n<p>This increase in speed is not forced; on the contrary, it results from a <strong>natural need for balance<\/strong>, while optimizing the body&#8217;s <strong>energy expenditure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is Spontaneous Walking Speed a Key Indicator?<\/h3>\n\n<p>Spontaneous walking speed is the speed at which the patient moves <strong>without external constraint<\/strong>. It respects safety limits while taking into account the patient&#8217;s stability needs. <\/p>\n\n<p>When this speed increases with the use of a mobility aid, it generally means that this aid is <strong>better suited<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>In Jade&#8217;s case, her increase in speed, <strong>associated with greater autonomy<\/strong>, indicates that the Wheeleo\u00ae is particularly well-suited for her.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Regained Autonomy Thanks to Wheeleo\u00ae<\/h3>\n\n<p>The most striking aspect of this case is not only the spectacular increase in speed (tripled), but especially the fact that <strong>Jade has regained her autonomy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>She moves alone in the hospital, going from her room to her treatments, to the restaurant, and even to the smoking area.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comparison with the Quadripod Cane: a Matter of Time<\/h3>\n\n<p>The question then arises: <strong>how long would it have taken Jade to achieve such a walking speed with a quadripod cane<\/strong>?<br\/>The answer is simple: probably <strong>never<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>The quadripod cane, when used systematically, <strong>limits the patient&#8217;s progress<\/strong> and does not promote such a marked improvement in <strong>autonomy<\/strong> and <strong>walking speed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n<p>The positive effects of Wheeleo\u00ae on Jade&#8217;s spontaneous walking demonstrate the importance of using <strong>mobility aids adapted<\/strong> to the specific needs of patients.<\/p>\n\n<p>The quadripod cane, although historical, no longer meets the modern requirements of rehabilitation. Solutions like Wheeleo\u00ae should be considered to <strong>truly improve the quality of life<\/strong> of patients. <\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Effect of Wheeleo\u00ae on the spontaneous walking speed of a person with severe traumatic brain injury.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7938,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[109],"tags":[],"profils-type":[],"expertise":[],"situation":[358],"profils-et-pathologies":[309],"class_list":["post-7940","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-article","situation-clinical-cases","profils-et-pathologies-head-injury"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wheeleo.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7940","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wheeleo.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wheeleo.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wheeleo.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wheeleo.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7940"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.wheeleo.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7940\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12582,"href":"https:\/\/www.wheeleo.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7940\/revisions\/12582"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wheeleo.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7938"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wheeleo.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7940"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wheeleo.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7940"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wheeleo.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7940"},{"taxonomy":"profils-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wheeleo.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profils-type?post=7940"},{"taxonomy":"expertise","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wheeleo.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/expertise?post=7940"},{"taxonomy":"situation","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wheeleo.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/situation?post=7940"},{"taxonomy":"profils-et-pathologies","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wheeleo.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profils-et-pathologies?post=7940"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
