Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Lumbar belts are used in the treatment and secondary prevention of LBP. They are supposed to reduce the intensity of pain by improving the functional capacities of daily activities and thus preventing the risk of chronicity related to immobility (HAS).
Despite some proof of their efficiency in the literature, it is still not clear how the pressure applied by the belt and the immobilization constraints on the trunk improve the patient mobility.
Considering that LBP causes movement limitation, and that the lumbar belt contributes to initially decrease the pain intensity, as well as to improve the mobility and the functional capacities of the patient, we propose to evaluate the clinical and biomechanical effects of the lumbar belt during different trunk movements in subjects with and without LBP.
This is a clinical investigation on a CE marked medical device, used in accordance with its intended purpose, in the context of a post-marketing clinical follow-up with additional non-invasive procedures (IC SCAC: case 4.1 of the medical device regulation 2017/745).This is a prospective, monocentric, comparative and open clinical investigation.
The objective is to evaluate the clinical and functional effects related to spinal movements in 2 conditions, with and without the wearing of a lumbar belt. The study will be carried out with two groups of subjects: one group of subjects presenting an episode of LBP (NS\>4) (subjects considered to have subacute or chronic nonspecific LBP according to the classification of LBP) and another group of control subjects with no spinal symptoms and no pain that could limit movement (healthy subjects).
Each group will undergo 2 visits on 2 separate days with a 30-day delay for the LBP subjects and a 7-day delay for the healthy subjects
* a first visit (V1) for inclusion, familiarization with a clinical and functional test, and an external measurement of spinal mobility during movements;
* a second visit (V2) for a clinical and functional evaluation, external measurements of spinal mobility and biomechanical measurements.
A third visit (V3) will be offered to healthy subjects for the measurement of spinal segment kinematics with the LombaSkin belt and Percko postural T-shirt.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Arm 1: Lumbar belt Lombastab® (Thuasne, Levallois Perret, France)
Low back pain patients wear Lumbar belt Lombastab® during 4 weeks according to the instructions given by the investigator of the study.
Lumbar belt
All subjects (LBP group and healthy group) wear the belt during the two visits to perform differents tests.
The invistigator will ask the LBP patients to wear the lumbar belt between the two visits (for 4 weeks, for 4 to 8 hours per day)
Optional arm: Healthy subjects who will done the third additional visit
For the healthy subjects, they will be offered to do a third additional visit during which they will be able to test the Lombaskin lumbar belt and the Lyne Up percko postural T-shirt.
