Fitness is one of the popular physical activities performed individually most of
the time. While doing an activity, if the proper posture is not adopted, it can result in
major injury that makes it difficult to lead a healthy life. By adopting wearable
technology and haptic technology not only correct motion could be achieved but also
damages due to wrong motion could be prevented. In this article we introduce a simple
and convenient wearable device that can sense the position of the body during the
exercise and provide haptic feedback if an improper motion was performed. The
wearable system includes four gyroscopes and four-coin types of vibration motors.
The body position was recorded using gyroscopes and haptic feedback was applied
using vibration motors. To test the system three positions were chosen and tested on
five participants. The results show that the device can be used by people to have an
injury-free activity where a coach is not available. Using wearable technology
accompanied by the haptic feedback will improve the skills and will lead to an injury
free exercise |
