🌍 FEEL SAFE IN DIFFERENT PLACES! This extremely durable gait belt has five separate handles around it for caregivers to provide the best assistance to you, thus giving a sense of assurance and helping you with your balance and weakness issues in different places: transfers at home, with medical professionals, physical therapy, in and out of the car, in and out of a pool or getting your back upright when you can get back into your wheelchair

This gate belt for elderly has an extra width in the back of 4” that avoids hurting you when your family member tries to lift you. Furthermore, by using some of its handles, your caregiver will keep you from slipping to the floor, preventing grabbing your arms, which can cause bruises on your thin skin that tears very easily

Your caregiver or family member can easily lift you to a standing position using the sturdy handles without hurting you or helping you to feel secure when walking as he or she holds the loop on the back

There are so many handles on this elderly assistance product that it makes grabbing/holding you easier for everyone. This is an extra bit of confidence that helps so much

HOW TO USE SIMPLY SENIORS' GAIT BELT

STEP 1

PUTTING AND BUCKLING THE BELT

Put the belt around the patient's or family member's waist.

Snap the two sides of the plastic buckle together. To secure the buckle, push the "male" side into the "female" side until you hear a snap, then tug on the closed buckle to make sure it's secure

STEP 2

PULL THE END OF THE BELT STRAP

Pull on the strap until the belt is at the proper tightness around the patient's waist, with the bottom of the belt just touching the tops of the hip bones.

You should be able to slide your fingers behind the belt, but not be able to pinch the fabric between your fingers.

STEP 3

USE THE BELT LOOP FOR MORE SECURITY

Tuck the loose strap end into the belt loop for safety reasons. The excess belt strap can be a tripping hazard, so get it out of the way by using the belt loop and if it was necessary tucking it once or more behind the fitted belt.

The belt loop adds an extra layer of security, reducing the chances of the belt becoming loose or shifting during movements.

STEP 4

PREPARE YOU FOR LIFTING THE PATIENT

Lock your hands on the handles of the gait belt. Stand as close as possible to the patient and reach around their chest with your hands.

You can hold the gait belt between your hands and line up your arms with the belt to create friction.

STEP 5

LIFTING THE PATIENT

Put one of your legs between the patient's legs, and the other one just to the side, so you can get very close to them.

Tell the patient you are going to count to 3, and on 3 you are going to stand up and lift them.

Count out loud, “1-2-3.” On “3,” slowly stand up, using your legs to lift the patient.

YOU MUST NOT PULL STRAIGHT UP ON THE BELT BUT USE IT TO HELP DIRECT THE PATIENT FORWARD AND UP ON A DIAGONAL, FORMING A 45º ANGLE.
