The brake handle assembly of the invention may be retrofittable to an existing foldable wheelchair. The brake handle assembly includes a coupling member provided to a foldable wheelchair frame near a handle grip. The brake release assembly further includes a hand release lever operably coupled to the coupling member and a wheel brake mechanism. The release lever may be configured to disengage the wheel brake mechanism from a wheel of the wheelchair when depressed by a user. The brake handle assembly may also further include a friction brake actuation mechanism and a brake lockout mechanism.
