Abstract
A posture training device includes in a mechanical-electrical embodiment thereof, an electrically conductive plate divided into two contact zones and slidable upon a support base of one housing section of the device. One end of the plate is operatively connected to a body harness cable extending around the longitudinal axis of the body from the pubis to the scapula, while the other end of the plate is electrically connected to spring-biased cable winding mechanisms. The two zones of the plate are separated and electrically insulated from each other by a predetermined gap which extends along the plate with a predetermined curvature or rectilinearly at a constant slope, and another slidable plate, having a contact member disposed therein, is similarly provided within another housing section with a harness cable at one end thereof, which cable extends laterally about the chest area of the patient, and is operatively, electrically connected to a spring-biased cable winding mechanism at the other end thereof through means of the contact member. The electricaly conductive plate and contact member of the second plate serve as a single-pole, double-throw switch and common contact member re…
