What you're looking at is the back of the photo. An attractive plastic buckle (that is made to look like a female) is located at the I'm making 2 single horizontal loops and 2 double vertical loops. The belt can be quickly slid out of the way so you can grasp the belt at any angle if you have some leaway in it, as it should be anyway. My mom and I do this as I assist her into her transport chair, so I can hold the wheelchair while I grab the belt hoop after sliding it around so I have a good grip In general, the material is sturdy and makes it easy to move or slide it around. The reason you need Leaway is because of this. My apologies if I have not explained myself clearly. It is well worth the money!
One or more of the following may be possible The excess on my wife's belt is about 11" long, and we usually just leave it hanging. A considerable pull does not seem to slip the buckle at all, so it is another handhold. Tie the loose end over the belt and tuck it in. This is accomplished by folding the belt over itself twice (and giving the belt three thicknesses about 5/8" long) and sewing will give the finished end which is not likely to pull through the buckle when buckled. By cutting off the desired length and then duplicating the present end, you could get the desired length. It is important to heat seal the cut end in order to prevent it from
I believe the clasp is in the back and the only hand holds you can see on the photo are the ones shown. My recommendation here would be to put the clasp in front and to have the ties

It would be ideal if the strap extended beyond the buckle a few inches. width of the black cloth is approximately 3 inches at its widest point. This bag measures 9 inches in height and has vertical blue straps measuring around 5 inches. The height of a 2 inch flat surface. Gait belts like these are good!

There are numerous slips on the buckle of the adjusting clip, causing the clip to be cheap. It's not safe for my patients to use this. There is no safety in that.
My high fall risk makes it necessary for me to wear this anytime we are out in the community, especially to physical therapy and my doctor's appointments. Also, I bought a second sitting belt that lives on the wheelchair, so I can use the wheelchair one to sit in the wheelchair and the gait belt to walk in it. I also use the wheelchair one to help lift myself up onto the wheelchair unassisted. Radiology loved using this belt so much that they asked me where I got it from, stating it was much less difficult to move with than a normal hospital gait belt due to the handles, especially since the handles were angled in all Additionally, it clips on easily and adjusts easily, making it quick to get it just right, even with only one arm available. I laughed out loud - They liked the gait belt so much that they felt like I was a rock star There was a lot of fawning by the ladies. The fact that I can go from the ground to standing on one foot with only one arm makes my husband feel much safer wearing this too, as long as he gives me a little momentum by pulling me up a little bit, which is probably about 20 feet. This is about 30 pounds lighter than a full body weight gait belt would be. I believe the handles are also much easier to grasp than normal gait belts. I can clip a carabiner onto it for things like making sure my keys are secure but In the end, I have been quite happy with this and highly recommend using I bought another one when I came back, as I mentioned!.
I had a stroke when my mom was 82 years old. She suffered back, shoulder, and knee injuries in both hands when getting into and out of bed and chairs, and when walking with a walker - it was difficult to keep her steady as she walked with a walker. We are my dad and I. It consists of the Army/Navy- We had a hard time getting hold of the cinch belt during brain rehab and it was It takes only a few seconds to put on and take off this belt, it is sturdy, wide enough to support mom's back without feeling like she is being bent As a result of the many loops, it is easy to grab her and hold her up so that we do not either hurt her by grabbing her in the wrong place, or harm ourselves by contorting our bodies in order to protect her. It has given mom more confidence to try to take charge of her life The love she has for her loved ones is sufficient without hurting them. They are in the midst of the.
After conducting a lot of research, I was able to come to this conclusion. There was always a concern that belts might cut into the person too much and we would never fully trust them. surprised by how sturdy the belt is. The pictures do not do it justice. It has a nice decent width so it seems more comfortable on the back and body. Once I saw the belt in real life, I was very confident that it will hold up and hold weight. We are always careful not to pull directly on the buckle in order A front buckle makes it much easier to secure the belt than threading it through a loop and making sure it's tightly fastened. It looks like a car seat belt buckle and has quite a long strap left after it is sized properly. The member of our family is a thin and athletic man who weighs about 160 pounds. It's easiest to loop the extra length of the strap around the belt so that it doesn't hang There are times when we use the buckle at the back, as suggested by the physical therapist as an idea, and that may also be helpful. We purchased this as one of the best purchases we've made for our family member who struggles to walk and transfer. This is a highly recommended product.
Her belt will now always be on when she gets ready to walk, even if she is only walking for a short amount of time. We have an exceptional amount of control over her movement with the belt since there are many loops, both vertical and horizontal. Her legs wobbled during the night, and we were able to keep her stable with this belt pulling up on the loops as her legs began to shake. As a consequence, she has been landing on the floor less frequently over the past few This product deserves a full recommendation from me.
Bought this for a loved one having difficulty rising (with assistance) from a sitting position in order to transfer into a transport chair &transferring into a bed, which is a great product. Once on another seat (or bed), go backwards. With little assistance, the caregiver is required to lift most of the objects. Having seen a basic belt of this type (no handles) and comparing it online with some other belts, I decided to give it a shot. A caregiver can use the side handles to raise the "patient" to a nearly standing position and thereby provide a better level of safety. gives back support. 5) Should the patient slip (not using the belt) extra handles are easy to grasp if held at the back. Helpful for assisting someone who does not have a good sense of balance.
