I really like the price! For its low price, this belt is a great value
5/5

It has the older style metal fastener (vs. the plastic fastener) which I consider to be more safe and The gait belts I leave with my clients when I work as a physical therapist are frequently broken. I purchased these gait belts from medical equipment companies in the past, but they're not as expensive as the ones I bought from them.

We use the same belt and our physical therapist does, too
5/5

I'm noticing a big difference in my mom since she started using this belt. Because she has trouble walking on her own, she uses her walker to maintain her balance. A physical therapist (my mom's friend) uses this belt when she comes to work with her when she comes to work with us. We purchased it on Amazon at a very reasonable price and later discovered it was the exact same belt she uses. Definitely the best gait belt to buy if you need one.

For a caretaker, it is a must
5/5

A caretaker who cares for someone who needs assistance standing up and walking needs to be familiar with this skill. My arms, shoulders, and back were hurting while I tried to pull my husband out of bed and off his chair. Thanks to the gait belt, I am able to walk more comfortably. The entire system has paid for itself a thousand.
