Wheeleo® is an innovative one-handed walker that provides you with stability and freedom to move safely in everyday life. Unlike traditional walking frames and canes, Wheeleo® does not need to be lifted – it glides smoothly over the floor and provides continuous support as you walk.
Developed by physiotherapists, Wheeleo® is a user-friendly solution for anyone seeking greater security and mobility – without compromising their freedom.
Thomas Worsøe Larsen, physiotherapist in Haderslev Municipality, shares his experience using Wheeleo® in municipal rehabilitation and recovery.
Wheeleo® is an innovative walking aid that combines stability and freedom of movement in a simple and intuitive solution.
At first glance, Wheeleo® may look like a “four-legged cane with wheels,” but it differs significantly in both function and use – it is a true one-handed rollator.
Unlike a traditional rollator, Wheeleo® provides continuous support but can be operated with just one hand. This unique feature offers greater freedom and convenience for people who need support but want to keep one hand free.
Wheeleo® is an innovative medical device especially valued by people who find it difficult to handle traditional canes (with 1, 3, or 4 legs), walking frames, or rollators. It offers the same security and stability as a rollator but is lighter, more maneuverable, and can be used with one hand.
Today, Wheeleo® is a genuine alternative to traditional walking aids.
Wheeleo® provides support and freedom so you can move confidently in everyday life – using only one hand.
It is user-friendly, enhancing mobility and confidence for people with walking difficulties – regardless of age.
Especially suitable for people with hemiplegia and the elderly.
Wheeleo® automatically positions itself at your side and follows your movements without lifting or effort.
It is compact, easy to maneuver in small spaces, and can be used anywhere in the home – unlike a classic rollator.
A clinical study shows that switching from a four-point cane to Wheeleo® can reduce fall risk and increase walking speed by up to 50%.
Wheeleo® provides constant support, helping users achieve a more natural and stable gait with increased confidence.
After a brain injury, Anne did not believe she would be able to walk safely again. But with intensive rehabilitation – and help from Wheeleo® – she is on the move again.
Instead of a heavy rollator or an unstable cane, Anne got a Wheeleo® – the one-handed rollator that provides continuous support without limiting her mobility.
It helps her maintain balance and walk confidently – both outdoors and at home.
“It has helped me a lot, and it is a big part of the reason I can now walk up to 1.5 kilometers.”

Here are six typical users Wheeleo® was developed to assist:
Has had a stroke and has reduced strength on his left side. Wheeleo® helps him walk independently at home and when shopping.
Lives with multiple sclerosis and uses Wheeleo® to feel safe on short trips where balance may fail.
Rehabilitating after a traffic accident. Needs a light and stable support in daily life without relying on large rollators.
Active in daily life but needs a bit of extra support on walks and when shopping.
Has cerebral palsy and uses Wheeleo® to maintain mobility and independence during the school day.
Has a congenital muscle disease and uses Wheeleo® for stability when moving around at home and at work.
Experience freedom, stability, and safety in your everyday life with Wheeleo®.

Wheeleo® is actively used in phase 3 rehabilitation and daily activities. According to physiotherapists in Belgium, it has proven to be a versatile and effective aid, especially for individuals with reduced function on one side of the body.
Improved posture and balance:
Wheeleo® helps users stand more upright and distributes weight evenly – unlike walkers, which often pull the body forward.
Adapts to progress:
The handle can be adjusted in height as the patient gets stronger, and it is used both as support and to train static stability.
Flexible for daily life:
Many experience Wheeleo® as a “mobile handrail” that provides freedom at home and makes it easier to move safely.
“I have never heard a user say that their posture has worsened. On the contrary, they tell us how happy they are to stand more upright with Wheeleo® than with a walker.”
– Physiotherapy Department at Centre Hospitalier Neurologique William Lennox, Belgium
One of Wheeleo®’s key features is that it doesn’t need brakes. The wheels ensure that Wheeleo® stays right where the user needs it. If the user loses balance, Wheeleo® automatically moves into a position where balance can be restored — without needing to lift it. If there were brakes, the wheels would lock and the device could tip, increasing fall risk.
It’s a myth that Wheeleo® will roll away when you lean on it. Think of a wheeled office chair – when you sit down and apply weight, it stays in place. The same applies to Wheeleo®.
100% of users confirm that brakes are unnecessary and that Wheeleo® offers all the stability they need to walk with confidence.
It works well in parks, shopping centres, car parks and on pavements — anywhere the wheels can move freely. It can handle small obstacles, but for larger ones or uneven ground, simply lift it and continue.
Wheeleo® can be used as a daily mobility aid and as part of physical rehabilitation. In everyday life, it helps users move around independently — even in narrow spaces like hallways, kitchens, and bathrooms.
In rehabilitation, Wheeleo® supports a more natural walking pattern from an early stage, helping accelerate recovery.
We do not recommend using Wheeleo® on grass, gravel, or thick carpet. In those cases, it should be lifted to proceed.
For curbs or loose tiles, just lift Wheeleo® and continue rolling once the obstacle is cleared.
If you’re using it primarily for balance, adjust the handle higher and allow more distance. Try different settings and consult a healthcare professional to find your best fit.
It is manufactured in Belgium and assembled at Entre Group — a social enterprise supporting people with special needs, based in Heppignies.
Wheeleo® offers the support of a rollator in a compact format. It allows safe movement even in tight spaces like hallways, kitchens, or bathrooms — and it moves with you, making it easier to use.
Wheeleo® provides continuous support. You can lean on it while it follows your movements naturally.
It also stands on its own, even when being pushed — making it a reliable companion that’s always ready.
Sideways movement requires a deliberate action. If you do the same with a cane, it may tip — but Wheeleo® moves with you and stays stable.
It naturally positions itself to help you maintain balance.
Wheeleo® is extremely intuitive. From the very first steps, users naturally place it where it offers the most support.
Unlike traditional canes or rollators, Wheeleo® doesn’t require much coordination or conscious effort — especially in confined spaces. This lets users focus on their activities and surroundings.
