Prolonged sitting in a single position adversely affects the spine and leads to chronic issues that require extended therapy for recovery. The principal motivation of this study is to ensure good posture, i.e. when a person's body is positioned correctly and supported by the appropriate level of muscle tension. It draws people's attention to the need for good sitting posture and health. Commercially available wearable sensors provide several advantages as the sensors can be embedded with the clothing.
