Some people seem overly concerned that we don’t use gait belts all the time. Soooo here ya go. Sometimes we do. It’s about clinical reasoning and how long you’ve known your patient among other factors. Like on a new evaluation we know nothing about that is definitely unsteady = appropriate for a gait belt. They aren’t always necessary and are sometimes a hindrance. #safety #brain #pt #dfw #walking | Big Heart Center for Parkinson’s Wellness

Gait belt baby! I used to use this thing as a safety precaution for walking, now I use it to add an extra 35 pounds to my pull ups and dips!! Crazy how things change. Who knows maybe I’ll be wearing it as a fashion statement one day! 😁 I string the belt through and around the frame of my chair and then make sure it’s super tight around my waist. #wheelchairworkout #wheelchair #pullups #gym #workout #paralyzed | Mason Branstrator
