At Broadway Home Medical, we offer a variety of accessories that pair well with walkers — such as cup holders and walker trays. We supply WalkerBalls with pre-cut holes to fit on the back legs of your walker, and if you're looking for something that glides over surfaces more smoothly, ski attachments are a great alternative. Whether you need a walker pouch for added accessibility or just a replacement for those old tennis balls, we can guarantee you'll find it here.

Front wheeled walkers — also known as mobility walkers or folding walkers — can be used anywhere with enough space to maneuver. If you have trouble lifting a standard walker, a lightweight model may be helpful when traveling by personal vehicle or public transportation. These walkers come in different materials and colors such as steel or aluminum.
Standard walkers typically feature a lightweight aluminum frame, adjustable height settings, and an easy-fold mechanism for convenient storage and transport.
The Medline Aluminum Folding Walker is a great option — it features a lightweight design with push-button mechanisms for easy folding and adjustable height for a customized fit.
A bariatric front wheeled walker — commonly referred to as a heavy duty walker — supports weights of up to 500 lbs. Some models come with 5" dual front wheels. These walkers feature a wider, deeper frame and easy push-button mechanisms that can be operated with fingers, palms, or the side of your hand. The precise frame design provides additional strength while adding minimal weight.
Bariatric walkers feature reinforced frames supporting higher weight capacities, a wider base for increased stability, and adjustable height for personalized comfort.
The Drive Medical Heavy-Duty Bariatric Walker is designed to support up to 500 lbs, offering a wider frame and sturdy construction for safety and support.
We carry a range of accessories to customize your walker for added comfort and functionality, including Walker Glide Caps for smoother movement across surfaces, padded hand grips for additional comfort during use, and walker bags and baskets for convenient storage of personal items.
