In the first mode, pressure is sensed using both sides of the sensor unit 130 during breathing, and feedback information is provided to help the user increase breathing strength equally in both lungs. For example, when the user inhales, the internal fluid pressure of the wearing unit 110 is increased to provide resistance to the user to strengthen the respiratory muscles. When the user exhales, the muscles are activated by applying vibration stimulation using the vibrating unit 190 inside the wearing unit 110. In the second mode, a part (one side) of the sensor unit 130 is used to correct a physiological breathing pattern in which breathing muscles are difficult to use due to narrowing of the intercostal space in the lungs opposite to the curved side due to deformation of the spine, and air cannot enter the lungs well. It is set to operate only the sensor part located in the lung area, and by recognizing one-lung breathing, rib deformation and scoliosis breathing patterns can be corrected. For example, when the user inhales, vibration stimulation is applied to one lung, and when breathing occurs in one lung, this is recognized by the sensor unit 130, and when the user exhales, the fluid pressure inside the wearing unit 110 By increasing , you can train the user to do Schroth breathing (rotatory breathing), which induces eccentric contraction of muscles by providing resistance to the user's breathing.
