  • Abstract
    The goal of this paper is to describe the development of an abnormal posture detection device intended for home use. The device uses two accelerometers placed in the cervical and lumbar regions of the spine and calculates the relative inclination of the cervical and lumbar planes. This inclination is used by the device to decide if the user has an anatomically correct or incorrect posture; in the latter case the user is warned by a buzzer that he needs to correct his posture.
