This helps increase safety, especially if the walker is walking down a slope or over rough terrain. It's also a helpful feature for people who have one side of their body that is stronger than the other, since it evens out the direction of travel.

These systems of braking are generally easy to use even for those with limited hand strength. They rely on a simple push/pull lever to activate and disengage. Some slow down brakes have multiple settings to adjust the level of resistance. This lets the walker be utilized in various terrains and conditions.
