Abstract
An elongate semiflexible woven lumbar support belt has a wide central support portion and a pair of interconnectable opposite end portions which are significantly narrower than the central support portion. The central support portion is formed from a webbing having a plurality of warp strands interwoven with a plurality of weft strands. The warp and weft strands, respectively, are fixedly attached to each other at angular junctions such that the stiffness of the webbing is greater than if the strands were not fixedly attached to each other at the angular junctions. The warp strands are spaced apart from each other and the weft strands likewise are spaced apart from each other to provide ventilation through the webbing.
