Abstract(in English) In order to reduce the symptoms of myogenic scoliosis, it is necessary to develop the habit of maintaining correct posture "always'' and "independently''. It is thought that measuring the body pressure distribution on the seat of the wheelchair at all times and getting the rider into the habit of always correcting the posture will help alleviate the symptoms. In this study, we propose a simple body pressure distribution measuring instrument that can be mounted on a wheelchair.
