Abstract
Posture and gesture analysis and body kinematics monitoring is a field of increasing interest in bioengineering and several connected disciplines. We propose wearable systems able to read and record posture and movements of a subject wearing them. We used strain gage sensors, deposited directly onto textile fibers realizing, in contrast with different strategies, truly wearable and unintrusive systems.
