ABSTRACT:
An improvement to a standard three-wheeled walker to render it usable by persons having the use of only one arm for support, moving, and braking the walker is provided. The braking system for use on two of the three wheels includes a crossbar having a brake handle mounted thereon and a section of brake wire having one end connected to the brake handle. The other end of the brake wire is connected to a bifurcated "Y" brake wire connector, the ends of which are adapted to apply pressure to the tires of the respective wheels while the user still maintains control of the walker.
