خلاصه مقاله:

Incorrect anatomic habits cause incorrect anatomic postures which take long time to get corrected with ordinary methods, also to prevent, there are methods based on ergonomics. The method which we devised is based on biofeedback method with ergonomic considerations. Up to now the ergonomic designs have been according to biomechanical statistical data which can be unsuitable for those whose biomechanical data has great deviation from mean state, but our mobile device uses individual biomechanical data, detected from target limbs. In this paper first the principles and real-time the architecture of the project is defined and explained, then sensory and optimization phase will be stated and finally the project’s results and future will be discussed.
