Abstract

Back pain has become a common health problem experienced in various countries, not only developing countries but also in developed countries. The purpose of this research conducted a meta-analysis to estimate the strength of the influence of using back support (orthosis) on reducing the degree of non-specific back pain in adulthood which can be caused by various risk factors. This study uses a meta-analysis design and a systematic study by taking adults according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. This study covers several databases including Google Scholar, Pubmed and Springer Link. By using the keywords “lumbar support”, “spinal orthosis”, “Low back pain”, “RCT ( Randomized Controlled Trial) ”. The results of using back support (orthosis) -1.62 were better in reducing pain in non-specific back pain patients compared to those without back support orthosis, but statistically not significant (ES= -1.62; 95% CI -5.02 to 1.78; p= 0.35).
