Young Adult Women and Wearable Posture Corrector Device
Sponsor: Pamukkale University
Summary
To improve posture, methods such as strengthening specific muscles or focusing on body alignment are commonly used. In addition to elastic posture correctors, electronic posture reminders can also be utilized. Thanks to current wearable technologies and their companion mobile apps, individuals can enhance their posture awareness. Although studies show that wearable technologies effectively foster posture awareness, the effects of wearable posture-correcting devices on back pain (VAS) and body image are not sufficiently known. This study aims to examine the effects of a wearable posture-correcting device on back pain, body image, and posture awareness to improve posture in young adult women.

Wearable posture corrector device
The planned device is designed for general use, requires no prescription, does not serve a clinical diagnostic or therapeutic purpose, and can be used without the need to consult a healthcare professional. The device is placed on the upper back during use. When the user assumes an incorrect posture, the device emits gentle vibrations to alert them, thereby promoting posture awareness. Women in the experimental group will use the device for a total of 4 weeks.
