WalkingBelt is used as support for gait training with children with impaired strength and stability. WalkingBelt provides
support around the torso and is held in place with a padded leg harness. WalkingBelt has two padded shoulder straps,
which are held by the caregiver to provide additional support and stability during gait training. It is not to be used as an
assistive device for lifting. WalkingBelt has a soft polyester lining that feels comfortable against the skin. The material has
an anti-slip function.
Check Safety
Visual inspection
Check the condition and function of the assistive device regularly. Always inspect the product after laundering. Check to
ensure that seams and material are free from damage. Check to ensure that fabric is not worn or faded. If there are signs
of wear, the product must be discarded.
Mechanical load
Apply pressure to buckles and handles and verify that they will not open or break under
heavy loads.
Always read the user manual
Always read the user manuals for all assistive devices used during a transfer.
Keep the user manual where it is accessible to users of the product.
Always make sure that you have the right version of the user manual.
The most recent editions of user manuals are available for downloading from our website, www.handicare.com.
Applying WalkingBelt
Place WalkingBelt around the user's waist and place the arms through the shoulder straps. Fasten
and tighten the strap.
Adjust the shoulder straps to the appropriate length. The caregiver should keep her/his arms
relatively straight during gait training.
Place the leg harness under the user, fasten and tighten. The leg harness should be tight enough to
provide good support, but not so tight that it causes discomfort.
