<p>A conformable brace used for supporting both the abdomen and lower back of a wearer in preventative and treatment applications. The brace includes an abdominal support panel (110) substantially enclosed within a support envelope (120), a lumbar support panel (210) having a dome-shaped protrusion (240) that complements the lumbar contour of the user's back, and a belt (320) that places the abdominal support panel (110) and the lumbar support panel (210) in opposed biasing arrangement against the torso of a user. The belt (320) is associated with the support envelope (120) and is also inserted though vertical slots (220) in the lumbar support panel (210). The belt (320) is used for infinitely adjustably selection of the biasing force needed by each user, the support envelope (120) evenly distributes the tension provided by the belt (320) across the abdominal support panel (110) for enhanced user comfort, and a Y-shaped end tab (400) comprising easily-releasable material helps the belt to remain secure during its use.</p> |
