STWB-62Y Heavy Duty Gait Belt

I’m a physical therapist and I purchased this gait belt last January 2021. I really love this product since it’s very sturdy and durable. Easy access to the grips and I feel secure waking my patients since i can easily grab the grips if needed. Easy use for transfer activities. My patients and their caregivers/family members loved them too and ordered one for themselves. They reported that transfer activities made easy because of this belt and becomes safer since they are not grabbing them by their shoulder/arm which is prone to fracture and/or dislocation. Highly recommended for healthcare professionals who deals with physical activities, transfer and walking activities.

I believe that this is a quality and durable gait belt that is easy to use. I’m an occupational therapist in home care and I recommend this belt to patients and their families. I find that it secures nicely in place and the straps are durable and placed wherever you may need them. Of course, as with any gait belt it may shift at times and need readjustment. All of my patients and their patients have been surprised with how much they like it, ease of use, and are satisfied with the recommendation/purchase. I think it is a very inexpensive product for the quality and use that you get out of it. It has saved many from falls.

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.

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.

This is my third belt- same model. Every time I take my husband to the hospital the hospital employees love this belt because of the handles. Unfortunately it disappears and I have to replace it. Lesson learned don’t leave it at the hospital.

Excellent product - incredibly well made. Nice to have multiple places to hold. Highly recommend!

Just bought it for my MIL and am returning it immediately. My MIL is 92, and suffers from Alzheimer's and she had a stroke which left her left side very weak. I tried it on her and it rose up to under her breast. I could not tighten the buckle enough, it still rose up and went under her breast. She is a small person less than 100lbs. Disappointed that this didn't work for her.

Note that the belt is an assist tool. This was easy to use from the get go. I secured it in the car, over a light coat and was able to adjust it quickly and assist immediately and the person I was assisting felt quite secure. When I brought it to the hospital for use instead of the thin canvas belt the PT and OT people were saying: "Where did you get that!" "We want one!" and they preferred using this belt to theirs. It has multiple loops for holding and a secure plastic buckle, which allows for a quick application. The cotton canvas belt which is typically used needs some practice and takes more thought for the nonprofessional. For the person wearing, this belt is is more comfortable than the thinner band. We use the thinner cotton strap for the shower as it dries faster. We use this wide band for general use. It adjust easily if size and fabric changes. I can't say enough about this product. If you have a use for something like this then this is the one to get. IMHO. [g]
