Wheeled walkers often have automatic brakes that work when you push down. Some have auto-glide features that allow the rear legs to skim the surface. They may provide a better performance in turning, and gliding over carpeting is easier as well. Wheel size and walker weight vary greatly among different models. For instance, larger wheels are best on uneven surfaces like grass.
All wheeled walkers are heavier than rigid walkers.
Because many wheeled walkers do not fold, they may be difficult to transport. Accessories Several convenient accessories are available, such as detachable baskets, seats, and trays. Walker bags allow you to carry small items while your hands remain free for the walker. For optimal performance, walker height is best when your shoulders are level and your arms are bent at the elbow at a 20 to 30 degree angle. Extended walker use may result in side effects such as a stooped posture.
