Do you have questions about
Is RooWalk waloo right for you?
RooWalk waloo may be able to support you if you experience difficulties or delays in your motor development. These are often caused by neuromuscular movement disorders.
Does RooWalk waloo only support walking?
No. RooWalk waloo can also support you while you are learning to find your balance. Its vertical flexibility (up-and-down movements) allows you to sit down and stand up repeatedly. The possible sideways movements help you learn how to shift your weight, move out of balance, and return to your centre. This is the first step towards taking your first intentional step forward!
Which parts of RooWalk waloo are electric, and why?
The two large rear wheels are powered by electric motors. This means RooWalk waloo supports its own weight, so you don’t have to pull or push it. You therefore don’t need to worry about the weight of RooWalk waloo.
How often does the battery need to be charged?
More information will be available soon.
How fast does RooWalk waloo move?
More information will be available soon.
Can you turn around?
Yes! You can turn in a circle by taking sideways steps, or simply move around a corner. You can even turn around inside an elevator!
Is there an app?
RooWalk waloo does not currently use an app.
Does RooWalk waloo use AI?
RooWalk waloo is smart, but it does not use AI.
What are the small wheels in front of and behind the electric wheels for?
When RooWalk waloo is switched on, it balances on the electric wheels. When RooWalk waloo takes a break, the small wheels allow it to stand safely.
Why doesn’t RooWalk waloo need to be pulled or pushed?
Thanks to its electric, self-balancing wheels (based on the Segway principle), RooWalk waloo follows movements initiated through the pelvic belt. This keeps your hands free; your pelvis only needs to provide the movement impulse. RooWalk waloo supports its own weight!
How does RooWalk waloo know which way I want to go?
You steer the large electric wheels through the pelvic belt by gently moving them away from their centre. Since we naturally tend to return to our centre, the electric wheels also move back towards theirs. This allows the wheels to follow your movements automatically—all through the movement of your pelvis.
Are there models for teenagers and adults?
There is currently one model for children between 80 and 130 cm tall, with a maximum weight of 30 kg. We are, of course, planning additional models to support more people with mobility impairments in improving their mobility and flexibility. Stay tuned!
Is RooWalk waloo covered by health insurance?
We are working to obtain an official medical aid number for RooWalk waloo as soon as possible. However, health insurance reimbursement may also be possible without this number.
What are the benefits of being able to bounce?
Bouncing is fun and may encourage children to stay active for longer. It may also benefit bone density: intermittent loading stimuli—the alternation between loading and relaxation—signal the bones to become denser and stronger. Source: Döderlein, *Infantile Zerebralparese*.
