on “Anthropometric Design Of Furniture For Use In
Tertiary Institutions In Abeokuta, South-Western
Nigeria”[1] Fig. 1(b) Seating Dimensions

The University of Agriculture (UNAAB), Moshood Abiola

Polytechnic (MAPOLY), and Federal College of Education
(FCE, Osiele), all of which are located in the Abeokuta
metropolis, were chosen to participate in the study. Seven
hundred and twenty (720) students were chosen at random
from first to final year students, with 240 students (120 boys
and 120 girls) from each participating institution. The
students ranged in age from 17 to 27 years old (mean 22.85
years, SD 2.05 years). Based on a study, each student's body
size was determined using standard anthropometric
measurement techniques. Prior to the start of the measures,
the students' consents were sought. The subjects were
measured in light clothing, in a relaxed and erect posture,
and without shoes. The measurements were obtained on a
level floor in one of the selected universities' classrooms. In Fig. 2 Anthropometric Measurements

The strain gauge measures the deformation (strain) as a

change in electrical resistance, which is a measure of the
strain and hence the applied forces. Then the comparator
gives an output voltage to the proximity sensor. The
proximity sensor senses the position of sitting and the
current posture of the seat occupant.If he/she maintains the
incorrect posture for greater than 20 minutes then it will
give an alert.The time limit is kept as 20 minutes since it is
the time period that a person can maintain a bad posture and
still not suffer from any poor posture related health issue.
Time is set by the timer which gives an alert if time exceeds
20 minutes.

V. FUTURE SCOPE
People no longer have time to take care of their health and
hence require frequent reminders to perform important
activities. The posture correction chair can be changed and
made useful in numerous areas. The posture correction chair
concept can be used in a variety of situations, including:

Longer exposure to the posture correction chair will aid in

the reversal of incorrect postures and related health
problems.

D. Gymnasiums
The posture correction can be integrated into a gym setting,
which will raise awareness of the importance of keeping a
healthy posture in addition to physical activity.
