Abstract

Background: Due to long-term use of computers and not maintaining the correct position and angle of the body while working with it, various skeletal and muscular problems and pain in the neck area occurs. This study aims to use a biofeedbck system to alert the computer users of an inappropriate angle of their necks, and as a result help them to establish a correct neck position.

Method: The user's neck angle is measured using a three dimensional accelerometer and the signal is processed, digitalized, and sent to the computer. User friendly software is designed to process the received data and warn the users when their neck angle is inappropriate.

Results: The results show that the application of the biofeedback system reduces the users' total time with inappropriate neck angle to <50%.

Conclusion: results demonstrated that training with the biofeedback system has been sufficient to make the habit of maintaining the neck in the correct angle.

3轴加速度计生物反馈系统的设计与开发，用于长时间使用计算机的用户颈部姿势的实时校正。

背景:由于长期使用电脑，在使用电脑时不能保持身体的正确位置和角度，会出现各种骨骼和肌肉问题以及颈部疼痛。本研究旨在利用生物反馈系统来提醒电脑用户颈部的不适当角度，从而帮助他们建立正确的颈部位置。方法:使用三维加速度计测量用户的颈部角度，并对信号进行处理、数字化后发送到计算机。设计了用户友好的软件来处理接收到的数据，并在用户的颈部角度不合适时警告用户。结果:生物反馈系统的应用使使用者保持颈部角度不正确的总时间减少到。结论:结果表明，生物反馈系统的训练已足以使患者养成保持颈部正确角度的习惯。
