Description
Auto Walker Glide Brakes By Carex Model A831 provide innovative mobility control by combining smooth gliding action with reliable braking capability for enhanced walker safety and functionality. These advanced accessories replace standard walker tips with intelligent gliding surfaces that automatically engage braking action when downward pressure is applied. The unique design allows effortless forward movement during normal walking while providing instant stopping power when users need stability for sitting, standing, or resting. Carex's engineering expertise delivers a sophisticated solution that improves walker safety without sacrificing mobility efficiency. The glide brakes reduce upper body fatigue by eliminating the need to lift walkers while providing confidence-building control when needed. The durable construction withstands regular use while maintaining consistent braking performance. Installation is simple with universal fit design accommodating standard walker leg sizes. These accessories are particularly beneficial for users with limited upper body strength, balance concerns, or those transitioning between mobility levels. The professional appearance integrates seamlessly with any walker style. The auto-braking feature activates naturally through normal weight-bearing, requiring no conscious effort or technique changes. This innovation represents a significant advancement in walker safety technology, providing users with enhanced independence and confidence.
Suggested Use
Remove existing walker tips and install glide brakes by pressing firmly onto walker legs until fully seated. Test gliding action by gently pushing walker forward. Test braking by applying downward pressure - glides should grip surface and resist movement. Use normal walking pattern - brakes engage automatically when weight is applied through walker.
