The Wheeleo® | Rollator-cane

One-handed walking frame

Wheeleo® have developed the world’s first rollator-cane, which combines the effortless and smooth stride, usually associated with a walking frame, with the compact and stable design of regular multi-point cane. With its four massive rubber wheels, the Wheeleo® will ensure optimal safety and support without compromising mobility, thus enabling its user to preserve and cultivate their independence, confidence, and happiness.

• Smaller and lighter than a walking frame, and therefore easier to handle in tight spaces.
• The continuous grounding of the Wheeleo means that the user does not need to lift the cane from the ground between each step.
• Allows its users to move both faster and more smoothly, when compared to a regular multi-point cane.
• A scientific study* showed that a 22 % increase in walking speed during spontanious movement, amongst people suffering from hemiplegia, as well as a 50 % increase in walking speed during
• 6-minute walking tests.
• General satisfaction increase amongst Wheeleo consumers,  compared to users of a traditional multi-point cane.

Safety and stability

Tripping and falling can oftentimes have serious physical and mental consequences, wherefore many people choose to acquire some kind of walking aid – even before the damage is done! Thanks to its rolling design, the Wheeleo® will always stand perfectly upright by your side.

The Wheeleo® will, similarly to a walking frame, always move forward rather than tilting. For this reason, brakes are not required to prevent the user from falling. On the contrary, adding brakes to Wheeleo® would actually increase the risk of the stick tilting. As Wheeleo write on their website:

“After using the Wheeleo®, this question [regarding brakes] is generally not relevant for the majority of patients.”

Should the user lose his/her balance, the user would automatically push the Wheeleo® to a stable and natural position, without having to lift the cane off the ground. Furthermore, the Wheeleo® is height adjustable, and can therefore be adapted to the specific needs of its user.

Who can benefit the Wheeleo®

The Wheeleo® provides the same continous and smooth stride, usually obtained with a traditional walking frame, combined with the compact and sturdy design of a traditional multi-point cane. We therefore sometimes refer to the Wheeleo® as a rollator-cane. For this reason, the Wheeleo might be beneficial for a lot of people with various disabilities or challenges, such as:

• Muscle weakness, cramps, arthritis, or similar disabilities
• People with paralysis on one side (hemiplegia)
• People with reduced strength in the arm or hand, or other disabilities involving the hand or arm
• People with visual disabilities
• Suitable for rehabilitation purposes after a fall, illness or brain injury, such as a stroke
• Suitable for people where a walking frame would be too large / unhandy, while a cane or a traditional multi-point cane would not provide sufficient support

Check out what Wheeleo® costumers have to say:

“I couldn’t believe it. Once in my hand it changed my life completely. I left my walking frame in the hall, but the Wheeleo is always close to me!”

“Unstable Wheeleo? Try it, it’s the complete opposite!”

“It’s like I always have someone at my side to help me walk. A real life companion! And so reassuring!”
