Bought this for my father who has had several lower back surgeries. He' s been advised by his doctors and family to walk as much as possible, whenever possible. My mother and I walk him to the mailbox every morning and back and his legs are strengthening every day. Without the Posey Gait Belt, we had to hold onto him using his trouser belt loops. It's amazing how easy it is to keep a person upright and walking in a straight line with the gait belt. It's a wonderful product and I recommend it highly.

The belt is amazing if you have a love one who you need help moving our for your job moving patients. the belt fits as to the size chart has handles in 6 different places easy to get to and to lift with. Very strong material and yet gives to be comfortable. This belt works for walking with person also getting into and out of cars and trucks. I or the physical therapist can find nothing bad about this product.

This gait belt is very good for help with transfers. I also wear it while using my rolling walker so my husband can hold on to me from the back to keep me from falling. Mostly I am wheelchair bound so when I go out I leave it on but unsnapped and when it is time to transfer I quickly snap it shut giving my helper multiple handles to help me with the move. It is comfortable to wear. The only thing is it does not work as well if the helper pulls up, it will ride up rather than pull me up. But used as lateral support then it is great and certainly also can provide help to get up as well. I feel much safer with it than without.

This belt was purchased for a 3rd grader who often ran from caregivers or fell to the ground. While it was slightly large for the child even at the smallest fit, it was modified by rubberbanding a small pillow to the back. With the belt on the child was easily walked from area to area without difficulty. She no longer tried to bolt or fall down. It provided safety in multiple ways. Caregivers no longer had to hold onto the child's arms or pull her up by her arms or body because they could hold onto the handles. The item was of good quality and can be washed if it gets soiled.

We had been using a regular gait belt for safety when my father walks with a walker, he has balance issues. The transfer belt is wider, and has straps to grab hold of no matter you are positioned as he walks. In addition to being more comfortable for my dad, it is safer and easier for the caregiver to help him stand.
