Rolling Walkers with Weight-Activated Brakes
Rolling Walkers with Weight-Activated Brakes. The spring-loaded push-down brakes of these rolling walkers are weight activated to help control the walker's movement.
Push-down, weight-activated brakes are a process where rubber tips, similar to rubber tips on the end of a walking cane, (Circled in yellow on the photo) are pushed to the ground to stop wheel movement.
These walkers are preferred by users with limited hand dexterity or for those users not able to operate a hand brake, have impaired memory or hand dexterity difficulty when squeezing a hand brake.
This braking system allows you to stop your walker by putting weight on the handles. Moderate to good stability is recommended for the weight-activated braking system.
Other braking systems may employ a different process such as: Applying pressure to the handlebar activates a braking mechanism. When brake is engaged, the brake stopper hits the wheel and the wheels cannot roll.
