It has made my world bigger!

Rating:

I'm a 62-year-old woman from the Netherlands and last year I suffered a CVA, which caused my right side to be permanently unusable. So since then, I have been stuck in a wheelchair.

During the last year, I went through therapy to try and recover some use/movement of my right arm and leg. During the therapy, I met a fellow patient who had a lot of benefits from a Trionic Veloped to help him walk again.
As it turns out, the Trionic Veloped is the only walker you can use with one hand.

Its all-terrain wheels make it possible to walk everywhere – on uneven pavement, curbs, and cobbles and get by with limited ability in one of the legs.

I asked for information directly from Stephan at Trionic, and he answered all my questions very kindly and directly over both mail and telephone. We were able to put together a Veloped Tour for me to try.

It arrived duly, perfectly packed, and turned out to be easy for me to assemble.
Then I went to work!

Over the past two months having worked with the Veloped, which I had named 'Thomas' (the tank engine), I can honestly say it has changed my world. From being someone in a wheelchair to someone who stands and engages with other people on their eye level again.
The Veloped has me walking upright again!

For shopping, a doctor's appointment, or just to go for a walk with friends for fun! In shopping centres, a park or sightseeing. I can take it into restaurants and theatres easily.

It will take from work from you, as you will have to practice on the Veloped daily, but you will find improvements in your capabilities daily.

For anyone living in the Netherlands, who wants to know and has one-sided paraplegia, I would be happy to share experiences. I am sure Stefan at Trionic can put us in contact.

  • Walker 12…

    I bought the Veloped Tour 1.5 years ago and I'm very happy with it. The only problem was that the trunk of our car was too small. So I bought a travel rollator (it's not that expensive). We went to the North Sea and the travel rollator didn't meet my…

    This walker is Suburb! I have had the Veloped for almost two months now, and LOVE IT so much! It climbs Curbs and almost anything. I take it on my walks regularly. Down Hills, up Hills, over tree stumps, Grass, Gravel, Curbs and it has no problems! G…

  • Technic of folding and holding…

    I have to go through three tight doors to come into my apartment. To keep the Veloped folded, I am holding it together with a small bungee cord. Is there a better idea?

    At the locker, the small cover is sadly not holding and slides always to the s…

    Bought for my mother who had cancer which was moving into the spine. She was never happy with anything but this machine was different. She called it her freedom machine and she went from not walking anywhere to walking to the local farm shop across g…

  • Oh my, the places I can go!…

    I love the Veloped, it changed my life! I am not afraid of walking on grass in my backyard or grandchildren’s athletic games, unpaved trails, let alone any kind of slightly uneven surface, think raised sidewalks, downed tree & plant debris scattere…
