The Development of E-textile Compression Pants With Wireless Measurement of sEMG

---

Abstract

This study developed the wireless measurement of sEMG pants for comfortable wearing from the clothing construction aspect. The Size Korea’s body size of women in the early 20s was used to construct the two nude size patterns of compression pants. One pattern was reduced horizontally 10% while the other pattern was reduced horizontally 25%. The two pairs of pants that were constructed with the bipolar textile electrodes were marked on positions of quadriceps femoris and biceps femoris of the hamstring. The subjects wore the two pairs of constructed pants to evaluate comfort and electromyogram. The test pants that were horizontally reduced 25% showed success in both technical aspects and wearing comfort. This was mainly due to the stable transmission of wireless measurement from electrodes and circuits in addition to excelling the wearing test for adhesion around electrodes.

Keywords: sEMG, textile electrode, technical clothing design, wearing comfort
