When we keep sitting for a long time, we end up with pain due to changes in the curvature in the waist. This study examined impacts from the wearing of a SPINE-GUARD(belt for the waist stabilization) on a cross-legged sit on variations of the Cobb’s angle, lower back pain and trunk flexion angle. 15 men for the examination have watched movies or attended lectures while wearing a belt for 90 minutes per round for every five rounds for two weeks. The Cobb’s angle showed a significant decrease from 48.36±14.57 before wearing to 28.09±11.63 after wearing (p＜0.05). Pain decreased from 4.53±2.36 before wearing to 2.733±2.153 after wearing (p＜0.05). The trunk flexion angle also showed a significant decrease from 82.33±20.30 before wearing to 70.2±19.43 after wearing (p＜0.05). Given these findings, the wearing of a SPINE-GUARD seems to affect variations of the Cobb’s angle and trunk flexion angle, and decrease of lower back pain.
