Did it slip up the body while it was being used by a caregiver and if so were you able to still get benefit from the belt over a regular gait belt despite it slipping.

Hi Donald. I have a Posey Green Six Handle belt that I bought to use with my mother. The belt does slip sometimes when used, but it still helps me get her up. I would rather have the belt even with the slipping than not have it at all.

I can't say that it doesn't move at all, but it's pretty minimal. You will still get the benefit from it. It's fitted really well, and is MUCH more comfortable than the regular gait belts.

I found that yes it did slip up all the time and therefor we really didn't use it.

Belt did not slip when we used it. Only issue we have is that it causes pressure where it sits against the body. The person is thin, so any Type of belt will cause that problem. I have looked for a padded belt, and have not been able to find one.

It does not slip any more than any other gait belt and is much easier to manipulate due to the multiple handles.

No - I have not experienced this. Because of the variety of 'hand loops' it accommodates many positions and angles for the caregiver. (In addition, I am using the belt typically higher up the torso to accommodate the presence of an Ostomy...)

No if you have it adjusted right it should stay in place. It moves a little but they all do. This belt is nice because it has several places to hang on to and makes it easier to control movements. We were using this on a man who weights about 185 pounds so that may make a difference compared to using it on a smaller framed person??

The belt did ride up on the body and needed to be readjusted for tightness over a regular Posey narrow belt. The advantage was the added number of grab positions that are placed around the belt to help with leverage. No belt is perfect when living dead weight in a person but with a few adjustments you will be able to lift more weight without hurting yourself. The belt is obviously more difficult to position on a female because of sensitive areas around the breasts. The more you use the belt the better you will be able to position the belt in an area that will assist you in lifting a person from a prone position.

Christopher, I would liken this treadmill at just slightly less than the ones I used to use at the County Recreation Center. I am 5'9 and 200 and have been using this thing to walk 4 miles per day at 15 minute miles five days a week. I keep the belt lubricated with silicone like the manual says and have had zero problems with it. Everything works today the same as it has for the past two years. This has been a quality piece of equipment that is built very well. I can't see that you would have a problem with it at all. Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to contact me if you have anymore.

I was able to pull it tight enough where it would stay at their waist. However, the strap was long so we have to wrap it around several times so that they weren't tripping on it. Best belt I ever used!!

yes as you do not want your feet to touch the bottom when using the belt to exercise.

I put the entire kit on and have had zero belt slipping problems+ amazons price is the best by far.... Good luck

I know it is a little harder to do but you need to load the strap through the bottom of the buckle. While depressing the thumb tab you have to thread the strap from the middle on the bottom to the outside. That will take care of any slipping problems. I have a 400+ lb. friend that works out with me and never has a problem at all with them.

I find the weisner clamp as good as it gets. Slipping is not a big problem, sometimes does, but depends on activity. Sitting for ling periods can make it slide off, but really not that often. I've tried everything else. This works.

I did, I saw other reviews say they were able to use it without pulling their pants down. I need to pull mine down to mid thigh to get it to work without a mess. I am hoping with more practice I will be able to do it without but for now I do have to pull them down.

This is one of the main reasons why I sent mine back. There is a way to tighten and loosen the belt by using the included tool, but that has a chance at making it slip and slide even more.

I use this belt with my sister and she said it doesn't hurt. Believe me, she would complain if it did. She is about 5'1" and weighs about 190 lbs. She has very little balance and we have to support her with the belt. As a caregiver, this belt is a wonderful tool and much better than the plain gait belt.

It can but won't be as secure as when clipped on a belt. It may creep up during adverse positions like sitting, kneeling or squatting.

i never got a belt....but I have this in my office and have people use it every day. It has helped with plantar fasciitis, neuropathy, bad circulation and lower back pain. People are addicted to it. I like the way it makes me feel and recommend it to everyone

I have not noticed it slip at all. I have loosened the lower strap to keep pressure at a minimum whilst still giving me the support i sought. It seems fine in terms of staying in place.

I haven't tried it. It is possible that the belt may slide up from its position if running hard on a treadmill, however, if it is tightened securely it should be fine. I have wore it while driving and getting in and out of my truck without any need for adjustment. As with any support belt, you shouldn't wear it for extended periods of time so your back muscles don't end up depending upon belt support. I would say it would work fine on a treadmill.

I have not experienced the belt slipping. So far it is working perfectly and I am enjoying it immensely.

This is not meant to use around the waist. It is definitely not a transfer belt. It is for the extremities and when used properly, does not roll down.

I sit most days at work as well as drive while wearing it. You do wear it low, but I haven't had a problem with it slipping up. I wear it under my clothes, not over. If I wear it over my clothes, I found it slipped more easily. You might try watching a Youtube video to be sure you are placing it correctly around your back.
