My dads been using ski type gliders and worked well BUT now given condition and shape of frame the gliders get stuck in door way's and threshold given he's escalating condition.
He seems to be attracted to walls doorway's when walking with frame.
So i was looking for something that would not get stuck on corners or table legs and come across these things called Tennis Ball Gliders.
Hi Jeff, never noticed anyone using these type of fittings on a walker myself, sound good but I'm doubtful as they only seem to make the walker glide more easily. Hopefully someone with experience might answer your question later, have a good day.
People use them here in the states all the time on their walkers. They work really well. But here folks just use tennis balls. I put them on my mom's walker. It's really easy. You just mark an X on the ball and use a box cutter and cut it, wiggle it onto the leg of the walker and there you go. Very inexpensive and very useful and easy to replace when they become worn.
