Diseño y construcción de un sistema de monitoreo y corrección de postura referido al plano sagital en bicicletas

Abstract

This work shows the design and construction of a posture monitoring and correction system referred to the sagittal plane, focused on improved the cyclist’s posture. Chapter 1 classifies types of cyclist and bicycles, describes key physical and mechanical principles and discussess the adjustment of components to optimize posture and performance as well as reviewing computer vision tools for postural assessment. Chapter two evaluates methodologies to develop a posture monitoring and correction system refer to the sagittal plenum, analyzing advantages and disadvantage of each alternative in order to select the best design and implementation option. In chapter four tests of measurement of shoulder and knee joint, angels in flexion and extension, the registration of revolutions of the rollers in relation to the rear tire during the pedaling and the cost of mechanical construction electronics and labour of the monitoring and correction system referred to the sagittal plane are presented. Finally, the concluions of the project are presented and recommendation are included focused on guiding similar research or developments in the future.
