Abstract

A posture assessment and feedback instrument (FIG.A and FIG.B) all contained within a single housing (). The output of a capacitive sensor () within the housing () varies in response to the distance between the sensor and the body of a user. The housing () is strapped to the body of a user (FIG., FIG., FIG.A, and FIG.B) with a belt (). The application area is chosen such that the distance between the sensor () and the body varies in response to a defined posture change (FIG.A and FIG.B). Thus the sensor output will vary in response to the defined posture change. The output is compared to a stored threshold value and triggers a feedback signal when the threshold is exceeded.
