In this video the caregiver will learn how to properly apply and adjust a gait belt. We recommend the use of a gait belt with any activity in which an individual may need assistance for safety. (Walking, getting up/down from any surface, in/out of the shower) Our preference is the use of a metal buckled gait belt for ease of adjustment while it's on the individual.
