Lumbar support belt

1. A lumbar support belt that can be fitted around a lower part of a torso of a patient, comprising:

a strip of elastic textile configured for attachment to itself; and

at least two posterior boning elements, wherein the at least two posterior boning elements comprise a first posterior boning element and a second posterior boning element, said first posterior boning element and said second posterior boning element being made of an elastic material and positioned such that said first posterior boning element and said second posterior boning element are disposed on each side of and separated by a transverse mid-plane of the strip of elastic textile,

wherein said lumbar support belt is configured to be positioned on the patient in such a way that ends of the strip of elastic textile fasten together opposite an abdominal region of the patient, and said first posterior boning element and said second posterior boning element press against a lumbar region of the patient, said first posterior boning element and said second posterior boning element being configured to diverge toward floating ribs of the patient, and

wherein said first posterior boning element and said second posterior boning element are arranged in a downwardly converging V so that said first posterior boning element and said second posterior boning element are configured to converge toward a lumbosacral region of the patient, said strip of elastic textile being provided with at least two darts, one of said at least two darts being superimposed over said first posterior boning element and another one of said at least two darts being superimposed over said second posterior boning element, the lumbar support belt thus having a tight hour-glass configuration when fitted around the patient, wherein the at least two darts combined with the first and the second posterior boning elements being arranged in the downwardly converging V are configured to improve comfort of the patient by limiting compression on a stomach of the patient.

2. The lumbar support belt as claimed in claim 1 , including two mutually parallel anterolateral bones positioned symmetrically with respect to the transverse mid-plane of the strip of elastic textile.

3. The lumbar support belt as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising a further dart substantially superposed with each of the two mutually parallel anterolateral bones.

4. The lumbar support belt as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said at least two darts are disposed angularly and symmetric to the transverse mid-plane of the strip of elastic textile.

5. The lumbar support belt as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of said first posterior boning element and said second posterior boning element has two juxtaposed parallel bones.

6. The lumbar support belt as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising two mutually parallel anterior bones positioned symmetrically with respect to the transverse mid-plane of the strip of elastic textile.

7. The lumbar support belt as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the strip of elastic textile has a central portion which includes said first posterior boning element and said second posterior boning element as arranged in the downwardly converging V, extended by two lateral portions each including an anterolateral bone and an anterior bone, the central portion configured to press against the lumbar region of the patient and being wider than each of the two lateral portions.

8. The lumbar support belt as claimed in claim 1 , wherein ends of the lumbar support belt are provided with hook and loop fabric so that the lumbar support belt can be closed on itself.
