This belt is a game changer! My husband has difficulty standing due to muscle issues in his legs. We have had to call the fire department one evening because he fell on the floor, and another evening when he fell down the steps. But since I have purchased these gate belts - one for him so I could hold him, and one for me so he could hold on to me - I have always been able to help him stand. He’s 6’ tall and 200 lbs; I’m 5’2” and 85 lbs. but they still help. I do have to wear a few coats or towels around my belly because they are a bit too large for me, but they fit him very well. I was concerned about the plastic clasps, but they have held up pretty well. The fabric is very durable and has several handles - vertical and horizontal - that offers several options for grabbing on the belt without needing to pull and stretch his clothing. All the physical therapists and nurses who have needed to help my husband stand have loved this belt. The belts they use is a simple smooth leather belt like a belt worn on pants, except their belt is double or triple the size in width. But it doesn’t have handles, so the PT has to hold the belt, itself, which can dig into the skin of the therapist and the patient. This belt is comfortable and easy to use. I inspect the belt before and after each use, and this has held up nicely! I do recommend this belt for both helping someone stand and helping them up the stairs (with training and practice).

Bought for my elderly mother and it works great!

Great belt. Nice and wide with many handles. Easy clip.

Excellent aid for lifting & guiding patients

Traveled on an international flight with Mom. Her mobility challenges made moving around difficult. With the handles on this gait belt, helping her get into and out of an airplane seat and moving on the aisles during sudden turbulence was made to be more safe.

This belt is made very well, but we couldn't get it adjusted smaller than about 50 inches. I was almost ready to send it back, but then fiddled with the belt some more, as I thought that couldn't be right. My husband is a small man, with a waist of 35." We adjusted it to the smallest size, and it fit just right. It will adjust to a very large waist for sure. Without measurements, I would guess it would accommodate at least 60" or more. My waist is 45" and we had it adjusted to about the medium size. It fell to the ground on me. An extremely large person should be able to use this belt.

I love this belt to securely move my father from place to place. And it's so much easier to use than a regular GAIT belt. It clips in to place or snaps I guess you could say like a seatbelt almost for some reason my dad doesn't like it and that I don't understand that to me. It doesn't really matter because I just can't have them fall down and it allows me to help him without having to deal with his full weight.

Does the job!
