PCT No. PCT/US95/15631 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 29, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 29, 1995 PCT Filed Dec. 1, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/17548 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 13, 1996A posture training device (100) includes a frame (102) and a module (116) floatingly engaged with the frame (102). The device (100) can be held snugly against the backbone of a person by a belt (122) or garment (124), such that an increase in curvature of the backbone in either the midsagittal plane or a transverse plane moves the module (116) relative to the frame (102). When the module (116) has been moved sufficiently to indicate a poor posture position, a tactile signal generator (160, 162) within the module (116) is activated to vibrate, thereby alerting the person that he or she has assumed a poor posture. |
