SMART ATHLETE DESIGN WITH SENSOR INTEGRATION FOR DETECTING AND MONITORING SPINAL CURVATURES.

Abstract

The invention is a sensor-integrated smart athletic garment designed to monitor and detect postural disorders and spinal curvatures such as kyphosis, scoliosis, and lordosis in daily life. The system monitors body mechanics through flexibility sensors and angle measuring modules embedded in the fabric. When the user deviates from the defined anatomical angles, it alerts them with vibrations, allowing muscle memory to develop in the direction of correct posture. The collected data is transferred to a mobile device via Bluetooth, enabling long-term progress tracking.

Description

1 TARIFF SENSOR INTEGRATED FOR DETECTION AND MONITORING OF SPINAL CURVATURES. SMART ATHLETE DESIGN TECHNICAL FIELD This invention is used for tracking biomechanical data, detecting postural disorders, and wearable technology. It relates to these areas. The invention, in particular, addresses spinal deformities such as kyphosis, lordosis, and scoliosis, affecting patients 5 days a week. It relates to a smart textile product that enables real-time tracking in everyday life. STATE OF THE ART Today, spinal deformities are usually monitored using static radiological imaging or This is done using expensive biomechanical analysis platforms found in hospitals. Patients... The corsets that people use in daily life generally provide passive support, and the muscles... This can cause it to become sluggish. Current solutions involve monitoring the degree of curvature throughout the day. It is unable to do so and cannot provide feedback to the user about their stance. TECHNICAL PROBLEMS THAT THE INVENTION AIMS TO SOLVE • Ability to collect posture data from the user outside of a clinical setting. • Inability to simultaneously and dynamically monitor kyphosis, lordosis, and scoliosis. 10 • Failure to warn the user when a postural problem occurs and the development of muscle memory inability to improve. EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION The invention integrates flexibility into a compression fabric with a high elastane content. 15 from (strain) sensors, inertial measurement units (IMU) and haptic feedback motors It is a system consisting of an X-shaped flexible device placed in the upper thoracic region (upper back). IMU sensors placed in the lumbar (lower back) region detect kyphosis; IMU sensors placed in the lumbar (lower back) region detect lordosis; spinal line Sensors placed symmetrically on the right and left sides detect scoliosis.
