Quick Answer: I use the Vive Gait Belt. It’s under $20 on Amazon. Watch the video for features I like above the standard PT belt many physical therapists still use.
Thank you to a subscriber taking my course Believe in Balance who asked the question:
“What is the safest way to help my spouse who needs a little help or nearby assist for confidence boost while performing the standing balance exercises in the program?”
Answer: Think of your own safety first. Then watch my video above for my full answer on best practice for using a gait/transfer belt, but here’s some quick product specs:
Vive Gait Belt (300lbs) Transfer Belt with Handles - Medical Nursing Safety Patient Assist - Bariatric, Elderly, Handicap, Physical Therapy - PT Gate Strap Quick Release Metal Buckle, Grabbing Teeth and Washable for wiping down or cleaning.
