Experimental Development and Validation of an E-Textile Sleeve for Surface Electromyography

This work describes the development of a leg sleeve with embedded e-textile electrodes for surface electromyography (sEMG). The novel device is a textile substrate with embedded circular electrodes made of conductive fabric, which can be connected to EMG acquisition systems. The performances of the...

description This work describes the development of a leg sleeve with embedded e-textile electrodes for surface electromyography (sEMG). The novel device is a textile substrate with embedded circular electrodes made of conductive fabric, which can be connected to EMG acquisition systems. The performances of the novel prototypical device were validated in comparison with standard sEMG electrodes. The experimental study involved 11 healthy volunteers, and general features extracted from the signals were compared using statistical methods. The results underline the absence of significant differences between the two systems, suggesting that the e-textile novel device is a viable alternative to conventional electrodes for collecting sEMG data.
