The patuka is a special piece of cloth worn around the waist by heavy workers and mountain porters in Nepal. An investigation was carried out to study its role in preventing pain in the back. Observations of intra-abdominal pressure and the lumbosacral compression force confirmed that the patuka might be responsible for the low incidence of back pain in those wearing it.
帕图卡是尼泊尔重体力劳动者和山区搬运工围在腰间的一种特殊布料。开展了一项调查以研究其在预防背部疼痛方面的作用。对腹内压和腰骶部压力的观察证实，帕图卡可能是穿着它的人背痛发生率低的原因。
