    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Materials Science
    • Sports Science

    Background:

    • Wearable devices enable unobtrusive physiological monitoring in healthcare and sports.
    • Existing textile electrodes have limitations in mechanical robustness and stretch resistance.
    • There is a need for cost-effective, easily manufacturable electrodes with good signal quality for dynamic applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate robust, cost-effective textile electrodes for dynamic physiological signal monitoring.
    • To optimize screen printing techniques for fabricating polymer-based electrodes directly into stretchable garments.
    • To assess the performance of these electrodes for surface electromyography (sEMG) applications.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed PEDOT:PSS-based textile electrodes using an optimized screen printing technique.
    • Integrated electrodes into a sensorised stretchable leg sleeve targeting five key muscles.
    • Validated signal detection accuracy during dynamic exercises like walking, cycling, and sit-to-stand movements.

    Main Results:

    • The developed electrodes demonstrated resilience, withstanding up to 500 stretch cycles.
    • Excellent contact impedance was observed in tests with five subjects.
    • High cross-correlation ( > 0.9) between textile and traditional electrodes confirmed comparable sEMG signal quality.

    Conclusions:

    • Presented an effective method for embedding polymer-based electrodes into stretchable smart garments.
    • Demonstrated good performance for dynamic sEMG detection using these novel textile electrodes.
    • The findings support the integration of screen-printed electrodes into technical fabrics for rehabilitation and sports monitoring.
