Study on the Force Analysis of the Support Belt for Relieving Pregnancy-related Waist Pains

摘要

It has become increasingly important and common to research the waist support belt to help relieve pregnancy-related pains in pregnant women. The function of the waist support belt has not received proper recognition. In this paper, the force analysis model is established to detect the role of the waist support belt. There are no prominent studies or clinical trials confirming the efficacy of the waist support belt worn by pregnant women In this paper, analysing the causes of pregnancy-related waist pain by the theory of mechanics is very basic, while understanding the role played by the support belt is very important. Then, data from pressure tests when pregnant women wear waist support belts are used to understand the effect in terms of relieving pain on the waist. The result of the pressure tests is verified by the results obtained from force analysis, while the pressure of the waist support belt is used to verify its functionality. In turn, this paper provides a technology and a method for the functional design and evaluation of waist support belts through pressure analysis.
