“…Thus although sizes vary, consumers who have either a very small or a very large waist circumference, or those with different body shapes, find it difficult to choose the right size. 8 As such, obese women may feel uncomfortable when wearing lumbar supports, compared with other consumers, such as standard or underweight women and men. What is more, lumbar supports sold on the market do not satisfy the preferences of women who value a good fit and aesthetics.…”

The purpose of this study was to develop a lumbar support garment, using three-dimensional (3D) printing technology, that has a good fit and great aesthetics for obese women in their 30s and 40s. To this end, a survey was conducted to investigate consumers’ satisfaction with commercially available lumbar supports. One participant with class 2 obesity, aged between 30 and 49 years, with previous experience of back pain and wearing a lumbar support, was selected for the 3D body scanning procedure. A lumbar support was designed based on the 3D shape data obtained by the 3D body scan of the participant and was then printed using a 3D printer. The lumbar support garment was designed as a sleeveless wrap-style innerwear piece combined with lumbar support. Cross-sectional comparisons, a wear test, and an appearance evaluation were also conducted. The cross-sectional comparisons confirmed that wearing the lumbar support garment straightened the back and waist posture and tightened the abdomen. Three obese women in their 30s and 40s were recruited for the wear test and, based on the test results, the lumbar support garment scored very high on air permeability, material, washing, and long wearability. Furthermore, because the lumber support garment can be worn under another garment, the participants felt more comfortable psychologically. The support also received good scores on appearance evaluations. However, spine experts suggested reducing the support’s thickness to improve its functionality and appearance.

“…Another previous study suggested manufacturing a lumbar support combined with innerwear. 8 Three-dimensional (3D) printing is indeed suitable for creating personalized products. It is used to produce custom-made dental devices, such as jaw models and teeth, 9 artificial corneas, 10 and artificial hearts.…”

A positive user experience is crucial for enhancing user adherence throughout the utilization of lumbar-support-assistive devices (LSAD). However, there is a lack of research for optimal user experience with LSAD in the existing literature. Therefore, this study aims to explore how patients with lower-back pain use LSAD and assess their satisfaction and overall experience. Based on this, we aim to provide design improvement recommendations for LSAD to researchers in the relevant field. Through in-depth interviews with 14 LSAD users, key themes were identified using reflexive thematic analysis. The results indicate that participants were “somewhat satisfied” with the overall experience with their LSAD. The key factors influencing the LSAD-wearing experience were: (1) key design challenges in improving LSAD (stability, fit and, comfort), (2) providing necessary assistance (potential barriers and prompts), and (3) individualizing needs and balance of design (aesthetics, dimensions, safety, and cleanliness). All participants reported that poor stability, fit, and comfort of LSAD were the main reasons for an adverse experience. It is worth noting that users may encounter potential barriers when initially using LSAD. Furthermore, younger participants perceived pressure related to appearance and expressed concerns about the exposure of their health privacy during social interactions involving the LSAD. Based on these findings, we have proposed a set of comprehensive LSAD design-improvement recommendations, which serve as a foundational reference for future improvements.
