“…In three publications, the used fabric structure was not clearly defined but referred to as 'conductive fabric.' 39,50,54 The integration of these conductive fabrics into a system was realized using embroidery, 38 glue 60,62 or detachable fixtures, such as snap buttons or hookand-loop fasteners. 39,50,54 Level 2 refers to a conductive material being integrated onto a textile substrate by applying a conductive ink or paste onto a fabric.…”

“…While the focus for monitoring electrodes is mainly on the signal quality, an important requirement for electrodes used in electrostimulation is providing an effective muscle/nerve activation without causing skin damage, irritation or pain. 20 For example, low impedance improves patient safety by avoiding skin burns resulting from a high resistance, 38 and lower stimulation intensity is required for reduced power consumption. 39 Further, an electrode with a uniform current distribution ensures a homogeneous distribution of electrical charges on the skin surface to avoid hot spots and stinging pain sensations caused by differing voltages.…”

Electrical stimulation can be used for the treatment of various nerve and muscle injuries as well as acute and chronic pain conditions. An electrical pulse is applied to a muscle or nerve to activate excitable tissue using internal or external electrodes with the aim of building muscle strength, artificially creating or supporting limb movement or reducing pain. Textile electrodes offer several advantages over conventionally used disposable surface electrodes: they are flexible and re-usable and they do not require hydrogels, thereby avoiding skin irritation and allergic reactions and enhancing user comfort. This article presents a literature review that assesses the state of research on textile electrode constructions. Based on the review, production approaches and designs are compared, methods for evaluating stimulation discomfort and pain are proposed and issues related to user compliance are discussed. The article concludes with suggestions for future work focused on investigating the impacts of textile-based electrode parameters on comfort, convenience and ease of use.

“…A wide variety of sensors and actuators based on textiles are possible today, most of which are based on incorporation of electrical conductivity, which can be realized by various means, e.g., by conductive particles in inks or coating pastes, or by conductive fibers or yarns to construct fabrics and nonwovens [ 3 , 4 ]. Based on this technology, current research is investigating possibilities for manufacturing textile surface electrodes [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ], also referred to as textrodes, to be used for instance in the healthcare sector, providing opportunities for home-based electrotherapy and self-administered monitoring of body functions [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. In signal monitoring, electrodes are utilized for measuring body functions such as heart and muscle activity or breathing rate, as well as bioimpedance or body temperature [ 16 , 17 ].…”

Textile electrodes, also called textrodes, for biosignal monitoring as well as electrostimulation are central for the emerging research field of smart textiles. However, so far, only the general suitability of textrodes for those areas was investigated, while the influencing parameters on the contact impedance related to the electrode construction and external factors remain rather unknown. Therefore, in this work, six different knitted electrodes, applied both wet and dry, were compared regarding the influence of specific knitting construction parameters on the three-electrode contact impedance measured on a human forearm. Additionally, the influence of applying pressure was investigated in a two-electrode setup using a water-based agar dummy. Further, simulation of an equivalent circuit was used for quantitative evaluation. Indications were found that the preferred electrode construction to achieve the lowest contact impedance includes a square shaped electrode, knitted with a high yarn density and, in the case of dry electrodes, an uneven surface topography consisting of loops, while in wet condition a smooth surface is favorable. Wet electrodes are showing a greatly reduced contact impedance and are therefore to be preferred over dry ones; however, opportunities are seen for improving the electrode performance of dry electrodes by applying pressure to the system, thereby avoiding disadvantages of wet electrodes with fluid administration, drying-out of the electrolyte, and discomfort arising from a “wet feeling”.
