Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021019142A1] The invention concerns a system for detecting and helping correct posture, comprising a support (2) that can be worn by a user with two support portions (2A, 2B) each carrying a sensor (3, 4) held respectively opposite thoracic and lumbar zones of the back, a signal processing unit (6) configured to define, based on signals supplied by the sensors, the user assuming an initial upright posture, two planes respectively attached to each of the sensors and initially inclined relative to each other by a first angle having, in projection in the sagittal plane, an initial value, determine an instantaneous value of variation of the first angle relative to the initial value, compare this instantaneous value with a predefined threshold value, and supply an output signal when the instantaneous value exceeds the threshold value, the support carrying a feedback means (7) generating a perceptible warning signal in response to the output signal. Also disclosed are systems for detecting and correcting postures.
