Sitting comfortably

摘要

Technology designed to adaptive-ly support posture could help children with severe dyspraxia, improve drivers' road skills and reduce falls among the elderly.rnThis is the hope of engineers and psychologists at Leeds University, who are researching the way posture affects the motor skills of children and adults.rnTheir research could facilitate the development of robotic classroom chairs that help dyspraxic children remain secure in their seat, high-tech car seats designed to alert drivers not sitting in the optimal driving position, or wearable sensors that caution elderly people making unstable movements.
