    A gait belt is used to assist a weak and unstable individual. Clients who use a walker or cane may need a gait belt. The gait belt fits around the client's waist while they are walking or moving with assistance. The belt allows the caregiver to stabilize the client if they lose their balance while they are moving.
    ::使用行走或拐杖的客户可能需要有一个行走或拐杖。 行走带在客户行走或有助行移动时,在客户腰部周围贴着行走带。如果行走或行走时失去平衡,行走带允许照顾者稳定客户。
