Wheeleo® is a next-generation mobility device for people that experience difficulties with walking and standing. Looking like a combination of a wheeled walker and a walking cane, Wheeleo contains 4 key features that improve a person’s autonomy, safety and mobility.

Key features:

• One-handed. You only need one hand to get the support you need. The other hand is free for opening doors, calling you loved ones or holding a bag.

• Smart design. The compact, convertible design allows you to walk through narrow places or take it with you in your suitcase. The elegant look won’t make you look old.

• 4 wheels. No need to lift your cane every two steps, the wheels of Wheeleo provides continuous support by keeping you grounded at all times.

• 4 legs. 4 touchpoints. The stability of a walking cane, times 4.

The Wheeleo® has no brakes, and more importantly, doesn’t need brakes. The device is easily controlled, enabling the person to stop and walk at a desired pace.

Thanks to its rolling design, the Wheeleo will always be placed in the right position for its user. When losing balance, the user will automatically push the Wheeleo in the right position that is comfortable for him, without lifting the Wheeleo. Adding brakes would be the same as replacing the Wheeleo with a regular cane because the brakes would block the wheels. As a consequence the Wheeleo would tilt and its user would possibly fall.
Reason why the Wheeleo gives more stability during the walk.

Wheeleo® is designed to be used indoors and outdoors on even
ground. It is therefore important to pay attention to the quality of the
ground. Many parks, shopping centres and pavements allow the use
of the Wheeleo®.
It is important that the wheels can turn freely. The size of the wheels
makes it possible to negotiate small obstacles. For larger obstacles
or places where the wheels cannot turn freely, it is sufficient to lift the
Wheeleo®.

At present, there is no direct reimbursement of the Wheeleo® (Belgium and France). In Wallonia, the AVIQ offers financial aid of 50€ for those who meet the criteria (under 65 years of age). Although Wheeleo® does not fit into any traditional nomenclature (it is not a cane, nor a rollator) we encourage you to contact your insurance or mutuality to request a reimbursement. Please contact us if you have more questions about this.

As the Wheeleo® is being recommended by healthcare professionals and used in clinical studies to prove the improvement of patients' walking speed, the Wheeleo® might be reimbursed in the near feature.
