Fig. 3 Effect of wearing a lumbar support in the control group. RE in control subjects decreased significantly with a lumbar support (p =.034). The difference was significant in left bending (p =.014). * Significant differences in that direction. Error bars show ± 1 SD.

Fig. 4 Effect of wearing a lumbar support in the group with LBP. RE in the group with LBP decreased significantly with a lumbar support (p =.0009). Differences were significant in flexion, extension, and right bending (p =.0026,.0013,.046, respectively). * Significant differences in that direction. Error bars show ± 1 SD.

Fig. 5 Effect of wearing a lumbar support for 2 hours in the control group. RE increased significantly after the support was worn for 2 hours (p =.015). The differences were significant in flexion and left bending (p =.018,.037, respectively). * Significant differences in that direction. Error bars show ± 1 SD.
