1. A method for posture and movement regulation for humans using a system for posture and movement regulation, the system comprising at least one body position sensor unit (45), at least one arithmetic unit (55), and at least one acoustic output unit (140) for outputting at least one stereo acoustic signal to a user having a body, a right ear and a left ear, wherein the at least one stereo acoustic signal comprises at least a first channel signal and at least a second channel signal, the first channel signal and the second channel signal being independent from one another, wherein the first channel signal is output to the left ear of the user and the second channel signal is output to the right ear of the user, wherein the output of the first channel signal and the second channel signal to the respective ears of the user is indicative of at least a first body position state and a second body position state, and wherein the first body position state is different from the second body position state, the method comprising the steps of:
a) determining the body position data of the human body (10) including collecting data regarding a step force via a tremor sensor,
b) sending the body position data to the at least one arithmetic unit (55),
c) converting the body position data into the at least one stereo acoustic signal,
d) sending the at least one stereo acoustic signal to the at least one acoustic output unit (140) for outputting the at least one stereo acoustic signal.
