Muscle-Monitoring Textiles: Cutaneous Recording and Stimulation of Muscles Using Organic Electronic Textiles (Adv. Healthcare Mater. 16/2016)

Cutaneous Recording and Stimulation of Muscles Using Organic Electronic Textiles

International audience; Electronic textiles are an emerging field providing novel and non-intrusive solutions for healthcare. Conducting polymer-coated textiles enable a new generation of fully organic surface electrodes for electrophysiological evaluations. Textile electrodes are able to assess high quality muscular monitoring and to perform transcutaneous electrical stimulation.
