Background:

Sarcopenia poses a significant health challenge for the aging global population.
Current sarcopenia detection methods are limited by complex equipment, expert requirements, and controlled settings.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an innovative wearable fabric system for sarcopenia detection.
To assess the system's capabilities in monitoring physiological activities and sarcopenia indicators.

Main Methods:

Fabrication of a wearable system using conductive fabric and a flexible sensor array.
Evaluation of the system's pressure-sensing capabilities (sensitivity, stability, flexibility).
Integration into footwear to monitor gait parameters like walking speed and gait patterns.

Main Results:

The fabric system exhibits high pressure-sensing sensitivity (18.8 kPa^-1) and excellent stability and flexibility.
It effectively monitors physiological activities including pulse, finger movements, speech, and ambulation.
Clinical evaluations confirm its ability to detect relevant indicators in sarcopenia patients.

Conclusions:

The developed wearable fabric system provides a straightforward and promising approach for sarcopenia diagnosis and assessment.
Its flexibility and sensing capabilities make it suitable for continuous, real-world monitoring.
This technology addresses the limitations of existing sarcopenia detection methods.
