Abstract
[Purpose] The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of wearing a good
posture belt on buttock pressure during cross-legged sitting. [Subjects] The study
subjects were 34 adults who were divided into a good posture belt group (7 men, and 10
women) and a control group (7 men, and 10 women), with 17 subjects each. [Methods] Sensor
mats were used to measure buttock pressure and changes in the total travel distance of the
center of pressure, maximum pressure, and mean pressure. [Results] The good posture belt
group showed smaller increments in center of pressure, maximum pressure, and mean pressure
than the control group. [Conclusion] The use of the good posture belt during cross-legged
sitting is considered to control the increment of buttock pressure, thereby greatly
helping the maintenance of efficient postures.
