“…Several studies have been done so far with regard to smart EMG clothing. Frequently visited topics include the development and analysis of the textile-based EMG electrodes [6,7], validity test of the commercial products [5,11], location and arrangement of EMG electrodes [12,13], and optimization of electrode sizes or clothing pressure [14,15]. On the other hand, there have been few attempts for pattern making of EMG suits and EMG electrodes for mass customization.…”

“…On the other hand, there have been few attempts for pattern making of EMG suits and EMG electrodes for mass customization. Lee [13] examined the shape and arrangement of EMG electrodes for arm and leg muscles, and Cho and Cho [12] studied EMG sensing positions that can be applied to EMG suits, but neither approached the pattern making of EMG suits particularly considering the relationship between EMG electrodes and anthropometric data to solve a problem of individual differences in muscle formation and body size.…”

According to recent trends, smart clothing products that can receive electromyography (EMG) signals during the wearer’s muscle activity are being developed and commercialized. On the other hand, there is a lack of knowledge on the way to specify the electrode locations on the clothing pattern. Accurately located EMG electrodes in the clothing support the reliability and usefulness of the products. Moreover, a systematic process to construct anatomically validated smart clothing digitally should be performed to facilitate the application of a mass-customized manufacturing system. The current study explored the EMG measurement locations of nine muscles and analyzed them in association with various anthropometric points and even postures based on the 3D body scan data. The results suggest that several line segments of the patterns can be substituted by size-dependent equations for the electrodes in place. As a final step, a customized pattern of a smart EMG suit was developed virtually. The current study proposes a methodology to develop body-size dependent equations and patterns of a smart EMG suit with well-located electrodes using 3D scan data. These results suggest ways to produce smart EMG suits in response to impending automation and mass customization of the clothing manufacturing system.

This study suggests solutions to improve the adhesive of textile electrodes and the body signal occasion such as surface electromyography (sEMG). For this, a textile electrode embedded in the forearm band was produced using a knitting technique with two designs. The effects of skintight conditions on the forearm band during sEMG measurement were evaluated according to the pattern reduction rate (PRR) of the forearm band, ranging from 0% to 30%. Finally, an adhesive intermediate electrode, conductive gel, between the skin and the textile electrode was introduced to improve the unstable skin contact. The sEMG measurements confirmed that the sEMG signal was detected stably without excessive skintight conditions, such as a more than 20% PRR by applying the adhesive intermediate electrode. Skin-electrode impedance evaluation results also showed a similar tendency. Therefore, the knitted electrode developed in this study uses an adhesive intermediate electrode to improve the electrode performance and provide comfortable wearing conditions. This electrode is a practical electrode substrate for bio signal monitoring that allows the detection of muscle activity in a comfortable wearing condition for a long time.
