Provided are mechanisms and processes for a brake system for an assistive mobility device. Systems include a frame configured to provide support for a user, a plurality of wheels coupled to the frame and configured to enable motion of the frame, a plurality of brakes coupled to the plurality of wheels and configured to provide resistance to a rotation of the plurality of wheels when engaged. Systems also include a first handle coupled to the frame and configured to be grasped by the user. The first handle includes a first rotatable grip and a first rotational torque generator coupled to the plurality of brakes. Systems also include a second handle coupled to the frame and configured to be grasped by the user. The second handle includes a second rotatable grip a second rotational torque generator coupled to the plurality of brakes.
