 PROBLEM STATEMENT
 ORC (Ortho Spinal Round Back Curvature) Kyphosis is an
excessive outward spinal curve in the upper back.

 Kyphotic angle ranges between 20 to 45 degrees.

 But when the curvature is greater than threshold range, then

it’s called Kyphosis.

 Doctors usually prescribe PCPRB(Posture-Correction-Pain-

Relieving-Brace).

 Kyphosis patient can’t know how much bend of the thoracic

spine is recovered and how long he/she have to wear this belt.

 PROPOSED WORK
 Introduce an IOT based mobile controlled
Kyphosis-Recovery-Measurement-Outercover-
Strip.
Measuring the bend of the upper thoracic spine.
Measuring the bend of the lower thoracic spine.
Mobile-Controlled-Data-Transferring-Box
 Provide analytical damage report
 Provide analytical and graphical report of the
recovery from our proposed Android Application.
SOLUTION TO KYPHOSIS
HOW RESISTANCE INCREASES WITH
THE INCREASE IN THE BEND ANGLE

NOTE: The resistance values mentioned here are specific to

the Flex Sensor which we are using and they are not
universal.

 CONCLUSION
 The significance of technological advancement is at peak
in today’s modern world and we have tried to make a
crude effort at contributing to it by modifying the PCPRB.

 Our project aims at simplifying the process of

understanding the medical recovery of a patient.

 The KRMA is not only helpful for a patient to track the

recovery of Kyphosis but also helpful to understand how
long they have to continue their diagnosis using the belt.
