Özet
<p>Postural disorders have become increasingly prevalent due to sedentary lifestyles and prolonged use of digital devices. Conventional posture correction corsets provide passive support but do not actively encourage proper posture habits. This study presents the development of a smart posture alert corset integrating textile engineering, embedded electronics, and mobile monitoring technologies.</p><p>The corset was produced using a breathable monofilament-reinforced elastic knitted fabric selected for its mechanical support and physiological comfort. An inclination sensor, Arduino-based controller, Bluetooth module, and vibration motor were integrated into the garment. When trunk inclination exceeds a predefined threshold, the system provides immediate vibration feedback to encourage posture correction. A mobile application records wearing time, posture deviations, and user compliance, enabling continuous monitoring of posture performance.</p><p>Laboratory evaluations demonstrated reliable posture detection, stable wireless communication, and successful integration of the electronic components while maintaining garment comfort. The proposed system combines biomechanical support with real-time biofeedback, offering a practical solution for posture correction and long-term rehabilitation. It has potential applications in postural kyphosis management, occupational ergonomics, and preventive musculoskeletal healthcare.</p>
