Children want to and should discover their world actively. Apart from the positive effects of self-mobility for the body and mind, social and emotional skills also benefit.

To ensure this is a reality, the Mio incorporates a new mechanical system for tilting. This means all active features of the Mio are retained along with a tilting option. The therapeutic idea behind this is that in the Mio Move, a child can independently switch between being active and resting without delay and the need to always ask for help.

Active wheelchair and rehab stroller in one

Mobility is an essential part of our nature, and non-impaired children develop their own, first crawling and then walking, personalities.  If this process is delayed or doesn’t occur at all, it is the job of the parents and therapists to enable mobility for the child. With the Mio Move children’s wheelchair, we have been able to combine an active wheelchair with a passive stroller.

Rest or play fast

The Mio Move is the ideal solution for a controlled switch from a passiveness stroller to an active wheelchair – ensuring rest, play and inclusion are all maximised.

Therapeutical approach

The concept of an active wheelchair is to develop mobilisation of children and adolescents with disabilities in a steady and progressive manner. In an active wheelchair that tilts, a child can change between active and passive phases at their own pace. With this, the risk of excessive demand is prevented, and the excitement dealing with mobility stays.

In addition, through the adjustability of back and seat angle, metabolism, cardiovascular system, breathing and sensory integration (perception) can be stimulated as a whole. Plus a child can enhance their gross and fine motor skills. The approach of combining wheelchair with stroller is a proven approach to accelerating paediatric development.
