STWB-70A Padded Gait Belt

Well-made, strong materials used on belt itself and all grip handles. The automobile seat belt type buckle provides a secure, yet quick release, fastener.

This gait belt is one of the best inventions I've run across for helping my mobility challenged mother get around. Just putting it on her gives her confidence to move more because she knows I can grab the loops if she starts to fall. When she is having a bad day, I grab the belt and help her walk by taking some weight off her bad knee. When she is dizzy from one of her health problems, she feels safe because it has so many loops for me to grab. I use it to help her out of chairs, the car, the toilet, etc. Its very well made and people at the dialysis center are jealous of it. I love how easy the belt snaps on and off, too. Her other gait belt is the old fashioned one that you have to put through the buckle every time and adjust that way. This one can be adjusted, but once you have it at the size you like, it will stay that way. Mom is an extra large now and it fits with room to expand.

I like the idea of this lift belt having handles. Might make it easier to grab a hold of. The quality seems good, but haven't needed to use it yet (thank God). I think it will work for helping my mom up. I first purchased one of those wider lift belts, but it didn't work because she is short-waisted with low breasts.

My husband has Parkinson's Disease with Dementia. He is tall and very slender. This belt has taken a strain off my body. Using it when getting up and down, moving to the commode, bed, or walking from one room to another is so much easier. Turns even go smoother as it helps him follow my guide with the belt. It is well made, sturdy, and the handles are amazing.

Just like the transfer belts used at the Rehab facility but with loops. This belt - and loops- has worked wonderfully in helping with mobility issues (standing, sitting, transferring from bed to wheelchair or wheelchair to car). It’s tricky because the belt has to be tight enough to help lift the person yet loose enough to not squeeze the patient when it inevitably slides up around the chest area. The longer length of the belt also lets us wrap the immobile left arm where we h the exceed length (sort of like a sling) to keep track of the arm when transferring the patient and keep it out of the way.

Have not used it yet but it seems to be just what is needed to help avoid injury to both the patient and the caregiver

Much easier and quicker to put on patient/client than traditional Gait Belt strap., uses clips instead of threading mechanism.. client feels more secure in it.

Easy 2 or 3 people can assist a person with limited mobility up steps safely. ( NOT PROMISING 100% SAFTEY BY USERS) I keep mine wrapped around back seat head rest incase we need it going into friends homes n on a boat( not recommending unless you have some training ) Love it
