ABSTRACT:
An improved back brace strap is shown in combination with a back brace which has a generally cruciform shaped anterior frame having a vertical member which crosses and is fixed to a horizontal member. The back brace is configured to be applied to the anterior thoracic area of a person. Also included in the back brace is a back pad curved to conform to the shape of the lumbar area of the back. The ends of the back brace strap are reeved through slots in the back pad and are attached to the sides of the anterior frame. The back brace strap includes a central core of cotton canvas and overlying layers of absorbent terry cloth, all secured together by alternating diagonal stitching for substantially the full width of the back brace strap. The back brace strap is also provided with a widened middle portion which is wider than the length of the slots in the back pad and thereby prevents the back brace strap from being displaced longitudinally with respect to the back pad, and which also stiffens the strap in the middle to resist buckling. Velcro hook and loop type fasteners are provided near the ends the strap for length and tension adjustment.
