ABSTRACT:
A walker is provided with a non-rotatable glide assembly that easily slides over the ground surface when a walker is lifted and advanced forwardly. As soon as a predetermined downward force is exerted on the walker legs, the glides retract and non-slip crutch tips engage the ground surface. Moreover, an individual glide may be easily removed and substituted by a wheel that provides rolling contact with the ground surface. The remainder of the mounting structure is used so that the walker may be easily converted from a glide to wheeled arrangement.
