Aim
• Develop a fully textile garment with dry electrodes (alternative to hydrogel electrodes)
• Screen printed, heat transfer electrode can be designed to any size and shape applicable to end use.

Purpose:Working with patients with spinal cord injury
• After injury, increased risk of low bone mineral density (osteoporosis)
• Increased risk of fracture
• Lengthy hospital stays – possible increase in mortality risk

Purpose:Working with patients with spinal cord injury
• Bone adaptation achieved through weight bearing exercise
• Functional electrical stimulation (FES) – controlled movement in people with paralysis
• Electrodes target muscle fibres
• Controlled movements

Purpose:Working with patients with spinal cord injury
• Electrodes currently ‘strapped’ to patient
• Is there a way of incorporating these into a garment?
• Textile electrodes have extended lifetime vs hydrogel

Materials
• Screen printed electrode
• Synthetic / elastane
• Zip
• Velcro
• Metal press stud

Methods
• Tests on able-bodied participant to measure torque and pain threshold
• Position of electrodes based on standard location used by practitioners.
• Tested using hydrogel electrodes.
• Repeated using dry electrodes (screen printed and heat transferred onto garment)

Methods
• 30Hz square wave pulses at 10mA intervals generated for 2 seconds
• Each step increased by 10mA up to 60mA
• Torque measurement taken at each step.
• Results compared

Findings
• Velcro provided easiest donning / doffing solution
• Compression had no beneficial effect on resistance of electrode, though comfort was noted by user.
• Ease of electrode positioning

Findings
• Dry electrode was activated at 10mA higher than the hydrogel electrode.
• Equal results to 60mA
• Repeats at 60mA resulted in large jump in torque

Conclusion
• ‘Garment’ design is suitable - facilitates easy donning/doffing -adequate compression
• Screen-printed electrodes - Jump in torque for 60mA unclear and remains to be investigated
• Future work will examine dry and wet state, extension and recovery of electrodes

The Future
• Explore potential wider physiotherapy applications
• Home use?
• Activity stimulation for those less mobile
• Possible incorporation into garments to apply to different muscle groups
