Feasibility Study for Wearable Sensor-Based Vibrotactile Feedback for Posture and Muscle Activation in a Relevant Dentistry Setting

This feasibility study evaluated a wearable sensor-based haptic feedback system designed to promote ergonomic awareness and influence posture and muscle activation patterns during a standard dental procedure. Inertial measurement units (IMUs) monitored posture by tracking back and neck angles, while...
