摘要: This paper presents research into a user-friendly electronic sleeve (e-sleeve) with integrated electrodes in an array for wearable healthcare. The electrode was directly printed onto everyday clothing fabric using screen printing. properties and designed structures of the e-sleeve were assessed refined through interaction end users. Different layouts fabricated to optimize user experience terms comfort, effectivity ease use. uses dry facilitate use can survive bending sufficient number times ensure acceptable usage lifetime. cleaning methods (washing wiping) have been identified enable reuse after contamination during application has demonstrated via muscle stimulation on upper limb achieve functional tasks (e.g., hand opening, pointing) eight stroke survivors.
