Holger Harms, Oliver Amft, Mirjam Appert, Roland Müller, and Gerhard Tröster. Wearable Therapist: Sensing Garments for Supporting Children Improve Posture. In Ubicomp 2009: Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing, pp. 85–88, ACM press, 2009. Acceptance rate: 19%
This paper introduces a sensing garment to support posture coaching in children. The system measures back bending postures using acceleration sensors embedded in the garment. 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 signi?cantly with the back bending measurements obtained from the garment. The garment enables an objective assessment of back postures and could form the basis of a system that provides coaching feedback to improve postural control in children.
