A member asked:

Can i use yoga belt like pt belt to help 92 year old lady get up, ambulate? what is safest way? loose? snug? pull up?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: A yoga belt is not as sturdy or thick as a gait belt. I would not use one. It is best to work with a physical therapist who can show you the safest way to use a gait belt.
