What is good posture? Sitting with good posture. The LUMOback sensor gently vibrates when you slouch from your lower back, making you aware of your poor posture. But how do you get into good posture? Good posture is more than having a straight back; it s all about your engaging core muscles and correcting the position of your pelvis. 1. Sit slightly forward in your chair. Having your knees below your hips is ideal, adjust your seat accordingly. 2. Rotate your pelvis forward and lift your chest. 3. Maintain this position by drawing your abdominals in slightly, keeping your shoulders down and back and your chin tucked in. 10 11
Standing with good posture. Orient your sensor. 1. Stand with feet shoulder width apart; weight distributed evenly in both feet. Walking around while wearing the sensor resets the sensor s orientation. 2. Chest lifted, shoulders down and back; arms rotated back so the palms face the body. 3. Eyes level, chin retracted; imagine your head is being pulled straight up by a string. Engage glutes/ abdominals for additional support and stability. Walk around for about 30 seconds, while wearing the sensor snug on your lower back. The sensor continuously re-orients itself throughout the day as you walk around. If your sensor doesn t seem to be tracking your posture and movements correctly, a short walk about 30 seconds should correct things. If things still seem off, try recalibrating your sensor. 12 13
Calibrate your sensor. 1. Get into good sitting or standing posture as described on pages 11 and 12. Hold this good posture position for the duration of the next step. 2. Press and hold the circular Touch button on the sensor until you feel five quick buzzes. Let go of the button and hold good posture while the sensor calibrates. 3. After five seconds, you ll feel five more quick buzzes. This completes calibration and confirms that your good posture position has been saved on the sensor. When to calibrate your sensor. The LUMOback sensor works for everybody, but only if it is calibrated correctly. This process stores your good posture position on the sensor and determines when the sensor will vibrate, indicating bad posture. When should you calibrate? 1. When you first setup your sensor. 2. When your sensor is vibrating, but you are in good posture. 3. When you put the sensor on a little bit differently than when you calibrated previously. 14 15
LUMOback vibrates when your lower back slouches. The LUMOback sensor will coach you by gently vibrating when you slouch from your lower back. When you move into good posture, while either sitting or standing, your sensor will stop vibrating.* The sensor is smart enough to know if you are walking, running, riding in a car, or lying down. Your LUMOback sensor will not vibrate during these times. When does the sensor vibrate? Good posture starts with the lower back and your LUMOback sensor only detects slouching from your lower back. Your sensor will vibrate when you: Slouch back into your chair. Bend forward at your desk. Lean back onto one leg while standing. Bend over to pick something up for an extended period of time. Your sensor will NOT vibrate when you: Hunch your shoulders or neck into bad upper back posture. When you are walking or running. When you are lying down. After you have been driving in a car for a few minutes. * If your sensor seems to be vibrating while you are in good posture, go to page 4 and recalibrate your sensor. 16 17
How does the LUMOback sensor work? The angle of your lower back. LUMOback uses three inputs to determine good posture. 1. The angle of your lower back and pelvis. 2. An internal accelerometer to determine movement. 3. Motion algorithms that work with the accelerometer to determine position. When you calibrate the sensor, you set a good posture angle. This good posture angle is used as the basis for measuring changes in pelvic tilt. Because the sensor is worn centered on your lower back, the good posture angle from calibration gives the sensor information about your lower back posture. Hunching only your shoulders often does not change the angle of your lower back, therefore the sensor does not detect slouching from upper back. 18 19
The internal accelerometer. Motion algorithms. The accelerometer inside the LUMOback sensor collects data about your motion, and processes this data to tell when you re sitting, standing, laying, walking, running, or even driving. The data collected by the accelerometer is run through a series of precisely built motion algorithms the world s most advanced biomechanical model of pelvic tilt and core body movement. These algorithms determine your position as you move from sitting to standing, walking to running. The good posture angle collected during calibration tells our motion algorithms whether you are in good or bad posture. 20 21
