Why we know this works!

We love this padded gait belt because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we see caregivers grab under an armpit or a waistband during transfers, and that hurts both people. Where should a gait belt go, and how snug should it be? Around the waist, over clothing, snug enough that you can just slide two fingers underneath. The multiple padded handles give you a solid grip from any direction, the wide 4 inch design spreads pressure so it does not dig in, and the quick-release buckle makes it fast to put on and take off. It is especially important for caregivers helping someone after a stroke, hip or knee replacement, or with leg weakness that makes standing unpredictable. A gait belt only works for someone who can bear some weight through their legs; if your person cannot, look at the Sit to Stand Lift For Home Use, and watch our Video Training: Gait Belts to learn the technique first.
