Real-time Sitting Posture Monitoring System for Functional Scoliosis Patients
Abstract
In recent years, with the increase in sitting time, real-time posture monitoring system is needed. We developed sitting posture monitoring system with accelerometer to evaluate postural balance. Unstable structure of the system was designed to assess asymmetrical balance caused by habitual sitting position. Postural patterns of normal group and patients with functional scoliosis group were analyzed. Consequently, inclination angle of scoliosis group were tilted to the posterior and left side. From these results, we concluded that real-time sitting posture monitoring system can be utilized to measure asymmetrical balance of patients and provide accurate diagnosis as well as treatment for individuals.
