Abstract

Modern society spends a lot of time sitting because of learning and work environments. However, sitting in the wrong posture increases musculoskeletal disorders, and affects student concentration in early childhood and adolescence, where musculoskeletal structures are formed. This paper developed a system to induce correct posture improve and seating habits for all ages. The proposed system measures the intensity, frequency, and distraction of posture changes. We tested 10 university students to evaluate the system performance and verified that the proposed system can effectively estimate posture classification and distraction.
