Innovative textile electrodes for muscles electrostimulation

The textile electrodes are used to muscles electrostimulation during the therapy. The textile electrodes are new product which can replace the traditional metal or graphite electrodes. They are elastic and good fitted to body shape (legs or arms). The presented solution decreased contact resistance between textile electrodes and human skin. The elaborated electrodes are located in textile band, ortez or socks in electrostimulation places. This kind of product we called textronic. In the article the method of textile electrodes production is described. To the manufactured electrodes new electroconductive textile materials are used. They consist of silver particles. New technologies, like plasma treatment, impregnate method or printing technology, was used to the modification of textile layers. In the articles authors also described the method of surface resistance distribution measurement, which is quality evaluation criterion of innovative textile materials to electrodes construction.
