SGB2H-60B Gait Belt with 2 Hand Grips

Mom is 92, weighs 104, 4’10”, and is in late stage Parkinson’s Disease. I’m 70, 4’11”, 125 pounds. This gait belt has allowed me (alone) to lift mom back onto her feet.An RN demonstrated its proper use; gait belt is placed under mom’s arms, clipped in front of her chest. Her feet must be braced against my feet as I use my weight (leaning backwards) to lift mom.It has worked every time. I own 3; have them placed throughout our home including in the car.

My 91 year old mother complains of loss of appetite and refuses to eat. This results in severe generalized weakness, especially in her legs.Prior to purchasing this transfer and walking belt, Mom used to fall several times a week, sometimes more than once a day. Now she is always secured with this belt when she gets ready to walk, even if it's only for a few steps. The belt is well made and the many loops, both vertical and horizontal, give us exceptional control over her movements. With this belt, we have been able to stabilize her by pulling up on the loops as her legs begin to wobble. Consequently she has not landed on the floor for the past several weeks. I highly recommend this product.

I was beyond impressed with this belt. I did a lot of review research and wanted to be absolutely sure it could be used for transfers safely and not just to assist with walking. In the past we had the standard gait belt that fits just like a belt and has a buckle that you thread the belt through. This was always difficult and we were worried that belt might really cut into the person too much. I was shocked how sturdy this belt is built. The pictures don't do it justice. It has a nice decent width so it seems more comfortable on the body/back. I feel very confident it will hold up and hold weight once I saw the actual belt. We are always careful not to pull directly on the buckle to be extra safe. The front buckle is much, much easier than threading a belt through a loop and being sure it's secure. The buckle is like a car seat belt. There is quite a long strap left over after sizing it correctly and our family member is a male, about 160 pounds and slim. We loop the extra strap length around the belt so it's not hanging down. Sometimes we put the buckle at the back which was suggested by the physical therapist as an idea, and that's helpful too. One of the best purchases yet to help our family member with difficulty walking and transferring. Highly recommend.

Bought this for a family member who is having increased difficulty rising (with assistance) from a sitting position to transfer into a transport chair & then to another seat (or bed). Most of the lifting must be done by the caregiver with little help. After seeing a very basic belt of this type (no handles) and checking out several others online, decided to give this a try. Was not disappointed. This is an excellent product. It enables the caregiver to raise the "patient" to a near standing position by using the side handles. (The wide belt strap gives support across the back.) If holding the patient from the rear (not using the belt) should there be a "slip", extra handles are easy to grab. Also helpful in assisting one who has limited walking ability. Belt is adjustable down to a waist size of (approximately) 28" & the seat belt type of plastic open/close clasp is an additional plus.

My 82 year old mom had a stroke. Helping her transfer in and out of bed and chairs, and keeping her steady while she walked with a walker was difficult and led to back, shoulder and knee injuries for both her caregivers - my dad and me. The army/navy-type cinch belt we took home from brain rehab was very hard to grab quickly and awkward to use. This belt is easy to get on and off, very sturdy, wide enough to support mom's back and not feel like it's bending her in half. The many loops are easy to grab and hold her up without us either hurting her by grabbing her wrong or hurting ourselves by being contortionists trying to help her avoid her falls. Mom is now more confident to work towards becoming more self-sufficient without hurting her loved-ones in the process.

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 bought these on a whim; we needed something to help my Father who has difficulties walking and is at high risk for falling. We took these to the Rehab facility that was caring for him after a major fall/accident. The Physical Therapists could not get over the handles on the strap and the quality. They wanted to know where we had purchased these. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't order some going forward! Definitely a good investment.

Biggest plus of this belt is the buckle. What a time saver versus looping the strap in metal buckles. Built very well and have no concerns about holding quite a lot of weight. Handles are a little bit on the small side and i don’t have big hands but does the job. Happy with it and would recommend to others
