Abstract:

A textile electrode, which can be used for medicinal applications, especially in electrotherapy, can be an example of a textronic product. This paper presents initial research on textile electroconductive materials which can be used as textile electrodes for muscle electrostimulation. Measurement results for the volume and surface resistance of selected electroconductive materials are presented. Dual and multipoint probes were used for the measurements. The surfer program and interpolation methods based on the Kriging interpolation algorithm were used to visualise the results received. For an inaccuracy assessment of the resistance determination, the procedures described in the ‘guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement’ were used.
