ABSTRACT:
An improved back support comprising a pair of adjustable rigid hip crutches, each extending from one of the hips of the user up under the corresponding armpit to provide evenly distributed back support. Each hip crutch is hingedly attached to the outside surface of a wide belt which encircles the user's waist. As the condition of the back improves, the length of each hip crutch can be increased or decreased as indicated by the individual needs of the user.
