本文描述了一种使用导电纤维作为可穿戴传感器的一部分来连续监测关节运动的技术。导电纤维被纳入柔性织物中，这种织物舒适且适合在日常环境中长期穿着。因此，即使治疗师不在场，也可以连续监测单轴或多轴关节运动。简要概述了传感器设计，包括功能要求和重要的设计参数。通过在关节周围结合一系列光纤传感器并分析每个传感器在使用过程中对关节运动的敏感性，可以解释每次受试者脱下和戴上可穿戴传感器时可能产生的未对准误差。这消除了在初始校准后重新校准的需要。
This paper describes a technique that uses conductive fibers as part of a wearable sensor for continuous monitoring of joint movements. Conductive fibers are incorporated into flexible fabrics that are comfortable and acceptable for long-term wear in everyday settings. Continuous monitoring of single or multi-axis joint movement is therefore possible, even when not in the presence of a therapist. A brief overview of the sensor design is presented, including functional requirements and important design parameters. Misalignment errors that may be created every time the subject takes off and puts on the wearable sensor are accounted for by incorporating an array of fiber sensors around the joint and analyzing each sensor's sensitivity to joint movement during use. This eliminates any need for re-calibration after an initial calibration.
