VALIDITY, RELIABILITY AND FEASIBILITY OF MEASURING MUSCLE ACTIVITY WITH TEXTILE ELECTRODES EMBEDDED INTO CLOTHING

2007

INTRODUCTION In out-of-laboratory settings the surface EMG measurements are complicated by the requirement of careful electrode placement and skin preparation. The development of washable textile electrodes that can be sowed into sportswear enable muscle activity recordings during normal locomotion without skin preparation and the problem of wires hanging around the body [1]. In this study we performed validity, reliability and feasibility tests of the textile electrodes embedded into shorts against the traditional bipolar surface electrodes.
