The uniquely developed Bb+ (Backbone Plus) guides the spine and lower back into an ideal posture. Additionally, by reducing the stooping posture associated with work, it reduces the significant strain placed on the back and hips.
A muscle belt is worn from the knees to the waist to support leg muscles. By wearing it, it will assist you in bending forward and getting up while working, reducing the strain on your muscles.
You can remove the backbone and wash only the cloth (fabric) part in the washing machine.
Two types of belts are included and can be replaced to suit your preference. The backbone fits perfectly to your back and maximizes the reaction force effect.
Tightening the belt along the abdominal oblique muscles stabilizes the trunk and improves the sense of hold. The length can also be adjusted, replaced, and removed.
The non-slip fabric and retightened belt make it difficult to slip off.
[Measured pressure on when raising a 10kg load from the floor to the desk]
*Assuming that the wearer is 172cm tall and weighs 64kg.
*Verification method: We made 10 healthy adult males raise and lower 10kg weight tested for 30 times in 10 minutes according to a metronome.
Participants did the same for both cases of wearing the jacket and not, which were recorded in a video. We then analyzed the angles of the neck, trunk, and knees of the participants from the video and assessed the data with the REBA method recommended in ISO/TR12296, international standards for evaluating occupational lower back pain.

"SUPPORT JACKET Bb+" has the effect of suppressing the forward leaning angle of the trunk, and has been confirmed to be effective in promoting good posture during work. In addition, the corset function and elastic fabric from the knees to the waist are thought to create a great sense of assistance. This product is expected to be effective in a variety of areas that require the prevention of back pain.
