Repair guides and support for medical walkers. A walker or walking frame is a mobility tool used for disabled people who need additional support to maintain their balance or stability while walking.
If you can work a screwdriver and maybe a pair of pliers, then yeah, I'm betting you most certainly can fix your own brakes.
We'll be happy to help, but in order to do so we'll need quite a bit more information. For example, the make and model number of your walker if at all possible, and adding pictures may help too.
Try contacting a mobility device shop (i.e. shop that sells or hires out walkers, wheelchairs etc) that does repairs or a bicycle repair shop in your location and ask if they can repair your walker and how much it would cost.

Describe to us what's happening with your brakes; what are they doing or not doing? The more detail you give the better your answers will be.

I can not pull the wire tighter, and the hand brake is still loose.
