A strap (10) adapted for encircling securement about the midsection of an individual including a pair of handles (38) whereby an attendant may assist both supporting and guiding the individual during ambulatory movement. The strap includes a first length (12) having a base layer (16) and first engaging elements (18). A second length (14) likewise formed of a base layer is connected to an end of the first length. The first and second lengths comprise minor and major portions of the strap, respectively. A fastener member (26) having a backing and second engaging elements (30) which mate with the first engaging elements is disposed at the end of the second length remote from the connection with the first length. The handles are carried by the second length to be disposed to the rear (FIGS. 4 and 5) when the first and second engaging elements are engaged for securement of the strap on the individual. A layer of backing material (22) extends along the second length and when the strap is so engaged for securement, the backing material is disposed toward the individual providing the strap with a non-slip characteristic. Both the base layer and handle are of sturdy and pliant nature, while the engaging elements may comprise a VELCRO fastener.
