How Do I Use a Gait Belt?

Below are 8 Important Steps to Follow When Using a Gait Belt:

Assess the Individual: Consider factors such as their mobility level, strength, balance, and any specific precautions or limitations.
Prepare the Gait Belt: Open the belt large enough to the individual’s waist size.
Position the Individual: Help the person into a sitting position on the edge of the bed or a chair. If they are in bed, assist them in sitting up with their legs dangling over the side.
Place the Gait Belt: Stand behind the individual and wrap the gait belt around their waist, positioning it snugly but comfortably. Make sure the belt is centered and adjust it if needed.
Secure the Gait Belt: Fasten the buckle or secure the fastener of the gait belt, ensuring it is tight enough to hold securely but not too tight to cause discomfort or restrict breathing.
Communicate with the Individual: Explain to the person what you are about to do and give them clear instructions on how to cooperate during the transfer or ambulation.
Provide Assistance: Grasp the loops of the gait belt securely, ensuring you have a firm grip. Use the belt to provide support and stability as the person stands up, transfers, or walks.
Assist With Sitting or Lying Down: When the person reaches their destination, guide them safely to a sitting or lying position, ensuring they are comfortable and stable.
