Some of today’s most widely-used medical devices can trace their origins back to antiquity, or even earlier. Orthoses, such as lumbar belts, were already widely used by Greek and Roman athletes. <\/p>

At that time, to combat back or rib pain and injury, simple bands were wrapped around the athlete’s thorax. Since then, these medical devices have become much more complex and effective. Today, the most common method of producing orthotics is by welding medical devices together. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In fact, there are different categories of lumbar belts, which can be classified according to their therapeutic purpose or manufacturing method.<\/p>

The most frequently used classification system is based on the therapeutic functions of the various lumbar belts. For mild back pain with no identified pathology, lumbar support belts are used. In the case of limited aches and pains corresponding to clearly identified mild pathologies, lumbar support belts are used. Finally, immobilization belts are used for acute pathologies after diagnosis, within the framework of a medical prescription. <\/p>

The technology used to manufacture back belts is another way of classifying them. These orthoses can be either standard or custom-made, with some brands being molded directly on the patient. <\/p>

The other classification criteria for lumbar belts are as follows:<\/p>
