ABSTRACT
Here we report some techniques we adopted to electrically characterize some commercially available bend sensors, in terms of their resistance variations when curved or angular shaped. This study has the aim of a correct exploitation of the bend sensors in order to adopt them for proper measures of the static postures and kinematics of the total human body, in regards for both the trunk and the limbs
