Textile Sensor Patch, Made with Conductive Yarns, Could Detect Pressure Points for Amputees – NC State News
NC State researchers sewed a soft, flexible sensor system to help map pressure points on an amputee’s prosthesis.
A soft, flexible sensor system created with electrically conductive yarns could help map problematic pressure points in the socket of an amputees prosthetic limb, researchers from North Carolina State University report in a new study.
In IEEE Sensors Journal, researchers from North Carolina State University reported on the lightweight, soft textile-based sensor prototype patch. The device incorporates a lattice of conductive yarns and is connected to a tiny computer. They tested the system on a…
