Gait Belt Transfer Belt with 7 Rubber Handles, 5.4" Wide Nylon, 31.5-54in Adjustable Up to 250lbs, Medical Patient Mobility Aid for Elderly Stroke Parkinson Bariatric Nursing Home

The wider,sift design with multiple handles reduce the risk of rib pain and increase comfort and patient security during transfers and ambulation. My adult daughter had a stroke. In comparison, the canvas belts would hurt her ribs, and the narrow design without any hand holds made it much more difficult on the caregiver. Well done!

Ive used this belt as a lift aid for me as well as I use it today 2 years later which is mostly used by my phys therapist as a gait belt when I ditch my walker. I dont know if Ive used it for help in and out of vehicles so cant speak to that but its sturdy and comfortable. Handles are well placed and secure. If you are looking for a utilitarian tool, this might be it. Im currently about 128lbs (down from like 138) and my waist is smaller but its adjustable by me no problem and easy for me to put on myself. Each therapist that has seen me wear it and used it themselves are impressed by it. My self-transfers and stability have greatly improved in 2 yrs and I attribute a lot of that to using this belt a lot early on and reducing its need over time. Ive never tried it but Im sure you could wear this around your chest, under your arms if you needed a lift that way after a fall and it would be comfy and secure during that time. This is way better than those standard gait belts that are made of a strip of cloth and have metal buckles that are hard to deal with without aid. Try it.

The belt worked well with one or more people assisting. I think it is easier to feel more stable and secure than the belts without handles. Occasionally, it could be difficult to get the correct angle with he loops and the smallest size of the belt was still a bit large as we tried to tighten it for more secure use.

The belt is well made. It's nice and wide and supportive. We use it for our program for people with Parkinson’s Disease with balance issues. The handles are excellent-well placed and easy to grab when needed. The only issue we have is the clip can be difficult for them to close- But that being said, it's never come apart and seems to be strong.

I am a fall risk. Each time this belt was used, my roommates said this belt was easier to use and the handles comfortable. It was easier on me, too. Much better than the traditional gait belts!!!

Very sturdy and easy to remove and has sufficient handles BUT hard to adjust for woman's waist size of 34. Also the back of it over time (2 months) folds over and will not stay flat anymore.

Mom had dementia and is having difficulty getting up and down from chairs/bed/toilet. I felt bad trying to assist her by lifting her up under her arms. I didn't want to hurt her or my back. This gait belt is a godsend! It gives me the leverage I need to assist her getting up. I love the padded handles. So much easier to assist her now.

I use this to hold my diabetic pump because sometimes I don't have enough room in my pockets.
