Motion Monitoring Study of Silver-Plated Knitted Fabric Flexible Sensor
Limb motion monitoring has important applications in the field of rehabilitation medicine,and flexible wearable fabric sensors have become a hot spot in this field.In this paper,silver-plated yam is selected as the conductive element,which is knitted with wool yam by weft knitting technique to form a ribbed structure knitted flexible sensor.The knitting ability of nylon silver-plated yarn is verified,the sensing performance and breathability of the flexible sensor with different conductive yarn contents are tested,and the possibility of the sensor being used for limb motion monitoring is confirmed,such as finger and wrist movements.The sensor has a wide sensing range and high sensitivity as well as excellent stability.This study provides an idea and solution for monitoring limb movements in the field of rehabilitation medicine and sports.
