The invention relates to a device (10) to be applied to a person in order to detect the incorrect postures thereof, i.e. at-risk postures. Said device is placed on the sternum and comprises an inclinometer (26) which supplies a signal representing the angle of inclination of the sternum relative to a vertical line, a calculator (28) which receives said signal and is programmed so as to cyclically execute the following operations: measure the angle of inclination; compare said measurement with two stored threshold values of said angle, which respectively correspond to forward-leaning and backward-leaning positions that constitute a pathological risk for the person; and produce an indication of the threshold values being exceeded. The inventive device also comprises signaling means which respond to said indication in order to inform the person and/or the therapist.
