A gait belt is a safety device used to help someone move, such as from a bed to a chair. The belt is also used to help hold someone up while he walks, if he is too weak to walk on his own. The gait belt helps you provide support and helps prevent a fall. It also decreases your risk for a back injury while you help the person move or walk. How do I use a gait belt? Put the belt around the person's waist over his clothing with the buckle in front. Thread the belt through the teeth of the buckle. Put the belt through the other 2 loops to lock it. Be sure the belt is snug with just enough room to get your fingers under it. Grip the belt tightly, bend your knees, and keep your back straight. Lift or move the person with your arm and leg muscles. Do not use your back muscles. Do not twist your body when you move or lift the person. When you are done moving or walking with the person, remove the gait belt.
