National Ability Center

In our equestrian programs here at the National Ability Center, the use of Glad Belts has increased the confidence, ease and comfort of our participants, volunteers and instructors. We are finding that the glad belt is a useful tool both during the mounted portion of the lesson/treatment session and the unmounted activities before and after. One of our core values is Innovation, so we are excited to expand the use of Glad Belts to improve our programming across the scope of our community.

Excellent gait belt

Verified Purchase
This was a very useful tool to help move my Mom after her stroke. The gait belt is well built with easy to grip handles and a wide snap clip, easy to clean and more comfortable than the narrow belt models that would tend to roll and bunch up causing discomfort.

This really helps me assist my family member without hurting

Verified Purchase
This really helps me assist my family member without hurting my back so much! Not only does it help me assist my family member by pulling him up from the toilet, but it also helps me pull him up from the chair and the bed! I am really grateful that Grip-N-Assist invented this mobility assistance device because it comes in so handy, whether we're at home, or on-the-go!!

Secure, sturdy and well made

Verified Purchase
Excellent gait/ mobility belt. Secure & Sturdy - Better than belts with nylon hand loops. Pricey, but worth it. Use it everyday to help transport my mother -. but instead, I wear the belt and she securely holds on to one of the handles as she is strong enough in her shoulders and knees to have me pull her up from a couch or chair as she grabs onto the handles. She currently has a fractured upper arm (humerus) and I walk very slowly at her pace. while she follows directly behind me with her arm holding one of the sturdy hard-rubber handles. If she was unable to walk normally, I would put the belt on her and use it solely to lift her out of vehicles and chairs. During first week of the fracture, I had belt on her and lifted her from chairs The extra wide velcro belt under the clasp belt adds extra firmness to the belts fit around your waist.

This works very well to help my stepson who has walking issues

Verified Purchase
This works very well to help my stepson who has walking issues. It makes it safe for him to walk as there is no chance the belt will slip. We have a sling that we use to get him out of bed and chairs but to walk him using the sling can be difficult. However with this assistance belt it gives one a better capability for helping someone who needs assistance walking.
