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

⚠️ BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR SHOULDERS! If you usually fall and people always try to grab your arm to stop your fall, this can cause both shoulders to have nerve injuries. 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: FEED THE BELT STRAP THROUGH THE TEETH OF THE BUCKLE

Thread the strap into the buckle from behind, so that the emerging strap is pointing away from the patient's body. Keep feeding the strap through the loop and over the teeth until the belt is secured but not yet snug around the patient's body.

STEP 2: SLIDE THE BUCKLE LEFT OR RIGHT OF THE CENTER OF THE PATIENT'S BELLY

If the buckle is centered right over the patient's belly button, it's more likely to cause discomfort or even pain when you tighten it. Instead, move the buckle to one side or the other so that it's halfway between the belly button and hip bone.

Ask the patient if they have a side preference—they may have a tender spot on one side of their abdomen, for instance.

STEP 3: FEED THE STRAP THROUGH THE OTHER BUCKLE LOOP AND PULL IT TIGHT

Thread the strap into the opposite loop (the one without teeth) from the front, so that it passes over the center of the buckle. Continue to feed it through the loop until the strap is fully tightened between the two buckle loops.

STEP 4: PULL THE STRAP UNTIL THE BELT IS TIGHT BUT NOT PAINFUL

With the buckle moved to the side, pull on the free end of the strap to cinch the belt around the patient's abdomen. Make the belt tight enough that you can barely fit your fingers between the belt and the patient's clothing and body.

If you can't feed your fingers beneath the belt strap, or if the patient says the belt hurts, it's too tight and should be loosened a bit.

If you can pinch the fabric of the belt strap between your fingers, it's too loose and should be tightened.

STEP 5: 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 6: 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.
