The aim of this questionnaire-based 12-month follow-up study of 113 patients was to elucidate patient compliance and subjective help achieved with a first, elastic or semirigid corset in chronic, idiopathic low back pain. Subjective help obtained from the corset was reported as excellent or good in 37% of the returned questionnaires. A total of 60% reported having worn the corset even during the preceding month. Low semirigid and elastic models were found to be better by the males and high semirigid ones by the females (p less than 0.001). Age, height, weight, body mass index, retirement or physical strenuousness of work showed no statistically significant correlation with the subjective relief gained from the corset. It is important that sufficient time be allocated to fitting the corset and that adequate information be provided about wearing the brace and about suitable trunk exercises.
这项基于问卷调查的针对113例患者的为期12个月的随访研究，旨在阐明慢性特发性下腰痛患者首次使用弹性或半刚性束腰矫形器后的依从性和主观帮助效果。在回收的问卷中，37%的患者报告称束腰矫形器带来的主观帮助效果为极佳或良好。共有60%的患者报告称即使在上个月也佩戴了束腰矫形器。男性认为低半刚性和弹性型号的束腰矫形器更好，而女性则认为高半刚性型号的更好（p值小于0.001）。年龄、身高、体重、体重指数、退休状态或工作的体力强度与束腰矫形器带来的主观缓解效果无统计学显著相关性。重要的是要留出足够时间来适配束腰矫形器，并提供有关佩戴支具和合适的躯干锻炼的充分信息。
