ABSTRACT:
A back support belt formed of a relatively rigid material having a width of 31/2 to 6 inches and a method of limiting the movement of a person in preventing lower back injury are disclosed. The belt reduces risk of lower back injury by restricting movement of the wearer, applying bio-mechanical directed forces to specific areas of the midsection and lateral trunk of the wearer and by utilizing pressure points which remind the wearer to use proper lifting techniques and good body mechanics.
