Posture correction apparatus and posture correction method

摘要

A posture correction apparatus includes an obtaining unit configured to obtain information related to a muscle condition in a body, a determination unit configured to determine muscle stimulation to be provided to the body, based on the obtained information, and a stimulation unit configured to provide the determined muscle stimulation to the body.

主权项

1. A posture correction wear, comprising:
a plurality of pressure sensors disposed at a plurality of locations on the posture correction wear, the plurality of pressure sensors configured to detect pressures between the posture correction wear and a body of a user when the user wears the posture correction wear; a plurality of electrical muscle stimulation electrode pairs disposed at a plurality of locations on the posture correction wear, the plurality of electrical muscle stimulation electrode pairs configured to apply electrical muscle stimulation to the body; a plurality of temperature sensors disposed at a plurality of locations on the posture correction wear; and a determiner that determines electrode operation patterns for the plurality of electrical muscle stimulation electrode pairs based on the pressures detected by the plurality of pressure sensors, and determines whether or not to stop the application of the electrical muscle stimulation based on temperatures detected by the plurality of temperature sensors, before and after the application of the electrical muscle stimulation.
