One day, a phone call came in.

"I want to walk."

It was the desperate voice of a 55-year-old man
unable to walk due to hemiplegia.
After the call, we reached out to
a rehabilitation center equipped with Walkmate for help.

The place we connected with was
The C*re Rehabilitation Senior Welfare Center in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province.
Despite their busy schedule,
the center kindly made time and promised to help the patient.
Traveling from Seoul to Hwaseong twice a week for rehabilitation,
he began full-scale rehab training.
The long-distance commute was by no means easy.

The rehabilitation continued for as long as five months.
There were moments of exhaustion and hardship,
but his determination to walk never wavered.

The dedication of the center, the patient’s perseverance,
and the stability of the Walkmate rehabilitation device came together.
Within a safe training environment free from the risk of falling,
small changes began to take place.

Relying on the therapist’s hand,
leaning on a cane,
and supported by Walkmate,
he carefully took one step at a time
moving through those cautious days.
Now, an incredible transformation has taken place
he can walk on his own without Walkmate.

To walk again — it was, perhaps, a small miracle.
With Walkmate, that miracle is never far away.
Walking a moment we once took for granted
comes back again.
