Abstract

The article presents the results of a preliminary study analy-sing the physiological parameters obtained during exercises that teach the patient’s correct body posture while sitting. Electrodermal activity (EDA), blood volume pulse (BVP), and electromyographic (EMG) signals were recorded and analysed during the training process for position shaping. A music preference and musicality questionnaire was carried out before the study. The JAWS questionnaire was completed twice by the respondent, before and after exercises. The physiotherapists provided instructions with respect to the stimulation of the autonomic nervous system, observed in EDA, heart rate and the subsequent motor units. While performing the exercises, the subjects felt positive emotions, which can be perceived as a positive experience for the probands and suggests their willingness to learn and maintain correct body posture while sitting. The sonification of the therapist’s commands and their sonic emotional content is further researched.
