The physical effect of lumbar spinal supports

Abstract
Ents and intra-abdominal pressures of these individuals were examined. The results show surprisingly similar patterns for the widely varying designs of support. The findings also suggest that the longer term wearing of a spinal support results in a degree of physical dependence. The results of this study are aimed at improving the prescription and use of spinal supports in the treatment of low back pain. Mr. N. D.
