They are a practical choice for seniors and individuals with limited hand strength or dexterity who benefit from brakes that activate automatically with body weight rather than requiring a squeeze or push-button action. Nursing homes, rehabilitation facilities, and home health supply programs that maintain walker inventories will find the case-of-6 format cost-effective for stocking replacement brakes across multiple walkers. They are also appropriate for caregivers who want to upgrade an existing standard walker with automatic braking capability for a family member who has difficulty with manual brake controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do the auto glide brakes work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe nylon tips allow the walker to glide smoothly along the floor when the user is swinging the walker forward. When the user applies downward weight to the hand grips — as they do when bearing weight through the walker — the brakes engage automatically to prevent the walker from sliding, providing stability at the moment it is needed most.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat walker tubing sizes do these fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese brakes are designed to fit walkers with 1\" and 1-1\/8\" diameter tubing. They are specifically designed to fit Guardian, Rubbermaid, and Medical Depot walker models. If you are unsure whether they will fit your walker, check the tubing diameter or contact us with your walker model number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many pairs are included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis listing is sold as a case of 6 pairs (12 individual brake tips). Each walker requires one pair (2 tips), so this case provides brakes for up to 6 walkers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan these replace standard walker tennis balls or glides?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — auto glide brakes are a functional upgrade over standard tennis balls or rubber glides because they provide automatic braking action in addition to smooth gliding. They are a popular choice for users who need more stability than standard glides provide but prefer an automatic braking system over manual hand brakes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40388879810614,"sku":"RA831","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1443\/4772\/products\/carex-walker-accessories-default-title-carex-auto-glide-walker-brakes-6-pair-per-case-fits-1-and-1-1-8-inch-tubing-23632399204406.jpg?v=1788640575","url":"https:\/\/www.precisionlabworks.com\/products\/carex-auto-glide-walker-brakes-6-pair-per-case-fits-1-and-1-1-8-inch-tubing","provider":"Precision Lab Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
