  • Abstract
    Modern people are to spend a lot of time living and working in sedentary postures. But the maintenance of wrong posture causes a lot of strain on the body. So diseases of the musculoskeletal system causes. Wrong habits of sedentary posture are neck and spine, pelvis to influence. And initially it accompanied by simply discomfort or pain But wrong posture that has persisted for a long time can lead to malformation disease. In the case of musculoskeletal disorders prevention and treatment of diseases it is possible through maintaining good posture. So it is necessary to determine the real time to changes in posture by itself. In this paper, to determine the distribution of the weight upon the seating system that can be implemented to determine the user´s posture. Developed system receives the weight information via total of eight pressure sensors. And it expressed separately in a total of five levels according to the load. It was prepared a cushion type for In order to improve the portability. And real-time monitoring is possible from an Android phone using the wireless communication. It was successful in nine kinds of posture determination using posture determination experiment.
