How To Use a Gait Belt
Need a few tips to remember when transferring patients to ensure risk-free results? We have you covered for gait training! When transferring, make sure the gait belt is securely fastened and that the patient cannot easily undo the belt. Remember, transfer belts may not be suitable for patients who recently had abdominal or back surgery. Instead, they are best used in occupational therapy, elderly care, or with people who use mobility aids. When using the Sammons Preston Gait Belt always have a layer of clothing between the belt and the patientβs skin to avoid abrasions. For all transfers, more than one caregiver may be needed. Finally, before moving your patient ensure that he/she is as close to you as possible during the transfer.
