Effect of a Posture-Cueing Shirt on Sitting Posture During a Functional Task in Healthy Participants: A Randomized Cross-Over Study.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a posture-cueing shirt on sitting posture during a functional task.

Methods: Thirty healthy male participants were seated at a standardized workstation while completing 3 laptop writing tasks of 15-minute duration wearing either a posture-cueing shirt, a compression shirt, or no shirt. Posture was assessed based on photos taken at minutes 1 and 15 into the writing task from which the head and shoulder angles were measured and extracted for analysis.
