What exactly is a gait belt?

A gait belt is a safety device that provides assistance in helping patients sit, stand, walk, and transfer from one place to another. Nurses or caregivers will secure the belt around the patient's waist and use it to stabilize the patient as they move around. When used correctly, a gait belt can reduce the risk of accidental falls.

When should you use a gait belt?

Gait belts can be used in a variety of scenarios, such as helping patients move in and out of wheelchairs or assisting seniors in their homes or facilities. Caregivers may utilize gait belts to assist patients with tasks like getting in and out of bed or chairs. Additionally, gait belts can be used to help patients stand up or to transfer them from one location to another.

To assist a patient in walking with a gait belt, stand behind and to the side of them, firmly grasping the loop on the back of the belt with an underhanded grip. Support the patient as they walk at their own pace.
