A system for correcting shoulder alignment, the system comprising at least two sensor devices configured to be placed on a body of a user, a controller communicatively connected to the sensor devices such as to receive respective sensor signals therefrom, and an alarm generator configured to generate alarm signals to inform the user of a detected misalignment,
- wherein the at least two sensor devices comprise a first sensor to be placed on a first upper thoracic part of the body of the user and a second sensor to be placed on a second upper thoracic part of the body of the user, wherein the first upper thoracic part and the second upper thoracic part are respectively located on different lateral sides of a spine of the user, and wherein the first sensor provides a first sensor signal and the second sensor provides a second sensor signal;
- wherein the controller is configured for calculating from at least the first sensor signal and the second sensor signal, an alignment status of the shoulders of the user, and
- wherein the controller is further configured for operating the alarm generator for generating an alarm signal when the controller identifies the alignment status to be indicative of a misalignment of the shoulders of the user;
- the system further comprising a memory for storing data, wherein the controller is further configured for, in response to receiving a calibration trigger performing a calibration process:
- obtaining the first sensor signal and obtaining the second sensor signal;
- calculating a reference alignment status from the first and the second sensor signal;
- and
- storing the reference alignment status in the memory.
