Abstract

This study aimed to develop dry, e-textile electromyography (EMG) electrodes using computer-aided embroidery method and test the effect of embroidery parameters using two different silver conductive threads on electrode–skin impedance and SNRdB in comparison with conventional Ag/AgCl electrodes. Results showed that all types of embroidered e-textile electrodes showed comparable or better results than the conventional Ag/AgCl electrodes in surface EMG applications.
