FAQ's

The GaitVest™ is a revolutionary caregiver lifting device that provides full torso support, giving you the confidence to lift, stand, and transfer a loved one with ease. Unlike other mobility aids, its design ensures a safe patient transfer and is discreetly stylish for everyday wear.

For families and caregivers, the GaitVest™ is the best way to ensure senior safety and fall prevention. It offers your loved one the support and security to stand with confidence, knowing they have a firm and stable grip point. This promotes aging in place and provides peace of mind for both of you.

Using the GaitVest™ is simple and effective. First, zip up the vest completely for a snug fit. Then, stand with your legs on the outside of the patient's legs to establish a firm, balanced stance. We suggest counting to three to ensure both the caregiver and the patient are ready for a synchronized sit-to-stand lift.

The GaitVest™ is a superior gait belt alternative because it provides full body control and stability during patient transfers. While a gait belt grips only at the waist, the GaitVest™'s full torso support prevents the shifting or slippage that can make a caregiver feel insecure. This gives you a much tighter, more confident grip for safe patient handling.

Absolutely! The GaitVest™ is designed to be a discreet and fashionable mobility aid. With its stylish cut and unique trim, it looks just like a regular vest. You can easily dress it up with a scarf or a favorite pin, allowing your loved one to look good and feel good, whether they're at a dinner, a drive, or an event.

No! The GaitVest™ is engineered to be a disguised assistive device. It's a snappy-looking vest on the outside, but concealed within are industrial-strength handles. These handles are ready for your caregiver to assist with easy sit-to-stand lift assistance without anyone knowing you're wearing a specialized mobility product.

The strategically placed handles on the front and back of the GaitVest™ provide a more secure and ergonomic grip for the caregiver. This helps with caregiver safety and back injury prevention by allowing them to more confidently manage your weight in the torso. A confident caregiver feels less stressed, which leads to a smoother, more enjoyable transfer for both of you.

The GaitVest™ is a great solution for daily living and light activity transfers, such as going out for lunch or to an event. For heavy exercising or physical therapy, we recommend a harness-type device that fits under the legs and is designed for multiple helpers. The GaitVest™ is a unique blend of style and function, offering a discreet solution for patient lift assistance.

Yes, the GaitVest™ will provide you with a sense of security and confidence for everyday patient transfers. Its supportive design feels like a reassuring hug with a purpose: to help you move about and get on with your day while having reliable and safe patient handling assistance.
