My elderly mother needs an abdominal binder. She's not real strong. Would she be able to put this on herself and get it tight enough?

I think so. A simple binder can be difficult as it is one motion to wrap and get the Velcro tight enough. The nice thing about this binder is you can wrap it on and attach without concern for fit, then the outer layer is easy to stretch across to tighten.

I think it could work. It depends upon how much upper body strength she has. I will say it'll probably get a little easier the more she uses it.

Actually, mine is only eight inches wide. I was operated on for a punctured intestine and after that my abdominal wall was not strong enough (I am now 80 years old) to hold the stitches and I have a fairly large area that has collapsed and moved forward. The eight inch binder is just wide enough to cover the affected area. I wear the binder over my undershirt to protect the skin, and it works very well.

I think your problem would be fitting into the chair . I'm 200lbs and its real tight around my butt. When I transfer the whole chair will come with me if I'm not paying attention!!

I guess it would depend on her age. I'm 65 years old, and a Grand mother, I am able to handle it with to problem. If she is 85 and on the weak side, this could be to heavy for her.

Hi Kathryn,That depends my mother is 78 and yes I could show her how to use the chair with no issues. However, if this person has balance/coordination issues, when it goes back it may make them uneasy or have a falling feeling only if you don't realize what you are doing. It is easy to use once they get the hang of pushing the foot bar out so that it goes back. The locking mechanism is easy to use so I would not see any issue even if they had trouble with their hands for some reason. But that is my best advise. Hopefully this helps.

I'm not sure, but I bought it for my mom who is a plus size woman and she has had no problem.

Got small adult for my 10 year old 70lb. daughter. She wears a sz 10.It fits well, but the ends almost tough when it is tied so if she were any smaller it wouldn't tie tight enough.

I know they are easier than the ted hose from the hospital. As long as your mother can put her socks on they should be fine depending on the circumference of her leg.

Yes, not all people do not have the same abdominal area. Some manufacturer have the width marked some don't. To find what is best foryou buy one and see how it fit and from there.

Nope, I've put that amount of weight in it, you'd just need to find a way fasten her down/in.

My mother is 88 and weighs around 90 pounds. She uses it when we go out and she will have to walk a distance. I usually get it in and out of the car for her. She is able to sit down if she gets tired. I had bought one that was large but this one is smaller and easier for her to handle. I think your mother would probably find it helpful to have. By the way, I bought the bag to put on the front of it for her to put various items in so she wouldn't have to carry anything. Good luck! Let me know if you need any other info.

I got this for my 96 year old Mom who lives with my sister. Mom can't lift it so I don't think you can expect yours to unless the microwave sits on the counter and she can pull it straight out. If her arms are strong and steady, then she probably can. The sides are cool.

I would say it would work for a petite person. My mom is about 5.4 and 150.

I can't see why you couldn't as the vest falls just below your chest. Unfortunately I don't do traditional sit-ups anymore to give you a true answer. I take on the non-traditional ab/core workout as you would see in the Insanity program. The vest never bunches up for anything else that I do. Its very well built and the velcro straps are sturdy so it keeps it tight to the body. I can say that the vest is one of the best purchases for training purposes that have ever made. You'll be amazed how fast you get used to the weight during your workout. I swear by it and highly recommend it. Hope that helped.

My 76 year old Mom is the user of this product. She is very sensitive and does not lay on it but uses it as a cover only. I did ask her if she thought she would feel them if she was to lay on it and she thinks she would.
