Wearable Therapist : Sensing Garments for Supporting Children Improve Posture
This paper introduces a sensing garment to support posturecoaching in children. The system measures back bending
postures using acceleration sensors embedded in the gar-
ment. We present a sensing garment architecture and the
evaluation of garments of different sizes in a study with 21
children. A vision-based reference system was used to eval-
uate sensor positions and measurement accuracy for 54 back
bending postures and related head positions. Then, we asked
eight physiotherapists to rate the children’s back postures in
this study. Ratings of experts correlated significantly with
the back bending measurements obtained from the garment.
The garment enables an objective assessment of back pos-
tures and could form the basis of a system that provides
coaching feedback to improve postural control in children.
