If the person has a walker (not a rollator) the person needs to walk in the middle of the walker with sides of the walker on the person's side. Feet should be far enough apart to be able to squeeze in your shoe (which you do if you want to check and make sure the person's feet are far enough apart). Back straight. Legs straight. Look straight ahead. Most frail, elderly people want to naturally stoop over with their legs bent while using a walker but if they're able they should stand tall with their rear end tucked in as they walk. Walking stooped over affects a person's center of gravity and walking with legs bent is exhausting (try it!) which will make the person weaker.
There are zillions of exercises that improve balance by making the person's legs stronger. Someone shouldn't sit in a chair or bed all day long and should be getting up and moving about every 30 minutes.
A gait belt is a great tool if the person is very unsteady on their feet and is using a walker. It doesn't improve balance really it's just a safety measure to keep the person from falling.
The person should not use the walker to hoist themselves up into a standing or sitting position and should learn instead to use the arms of a chair or grab bars. A walker is not stationary and will tumble over along with the person if used to change position. Walkers are very light and it takes very little for them to fall over.....just like people with little balance.
Blood pressure should be addressed if too low. This can cause someone to be weak. Push fluids in cases of lower blood pressure (but do so under a Dr.'s supervision).
Balance and mobility is a lot like forming new, healthier habits. Use verbal cues to help the person remember to walk tall, look straight ahead, etc. Sometimes verbal cues have to be used over and over and over again until the person is in the habit of using the walker correctly.
