“…Other fabric-based strain sensors have been implemented using conductive thread and specific machine stitches including cover stitch [79] and overlocked sensors [21]. In these sensors, the nature of the stitch allows loops of thread to come into or out of contact with each other as the fabric stretches, decreasing or increasing the effective length of the conductor and proportionally, the resistance.…”

E-textiles in Clinical Rehabilitation: A Scoping Review

Electronic textiles have potential for many practical uses in clinical rehabilitation. This scoping review appraises recent and emerging developments of textile-based sensors with applications to rehabilitation. Contributions published from 2009 to 2013 are appraised with a specific focus on the measured physiological or biomechanical phenomenon, current measurement practices, textile innovations, and their merits and limitations. While fabric-based signal quality and sensor integration have advanced considerably, overall system integration (including circuitry and power) has not been fully realized. Validation against clinical gold standards is inconsistent at best, and feasibility with clinical populations remains to be demonstrated. The overwhelming focus of research and development has been on remote sensing but the opportunity for textile-mediated feedback to the wearer remains unexplored. Recommendations for future research are provided.

“…The Stitched Sensor response is therefore originated by two stretching modalities: extension and recovery. Implementing the looped-conductor method in a stitched sensor as we described in [2], generates a resistance increase when the stitch is in extension mode and a resistance decrease when the stitch is in recovery mode. By changing the geometrical structure of the stitch makes it possible to realize a stitched sensor with an "inverse" working principle, where the resistance decreases during the extension mode and increases during the recovery mode.…”

“…3). In our paper [2], we implemented the loop structure using a conductive yarn and a very common type of apparel sewing machine, the coverstitch machine: when the stitch is relaxed (loops in contact) the electrical resistance decreases; conversely, when the stitch is stretched (loops separated) the electrical resistance increases. The Stitched Sensor response is therefore originated by two stretching modalities: extension and recovery.…”

Inflatable structures provide a significant volume savings for future NASA deep space missions. The complexity of these structures, however, provides difficulty for engineers in designing, analyzing, and testing. Common strain measurement systems for metallic parts cannot be used directly on fabrics. New technologies must be developed and tested to accuractly measure the strain of inflatable structures. This paper documents the testing of six candidate strain measurement devices for use on fabrics. The resistance devices tested showed significant hysteresis during creep and cyclic testing. The capacitive device, however, showed excellent results and little-to-no hysteresis. Because of this issue, only two out of the six proposed devices will continue in development. The resulting data and lessons learned from this effort provides direction for continued work to produce a structural health monitoring system for inflatable habitats.
