Digitally Knitted Smart Knee Brace (Wearable Sensor)
Made from a single fabric, this smart knee brace is highly stretchable,
lightweight and integrated with a fully functional sensing circuit.
Since long-term and continuous monitoring of joint motion
may potentially prevent or delay joint decline, this smart knee brace will help healthcare professionals and researchers in the wireless sensing
of joint motion in real-time.
The research team led by Assoc Prof Low Hong Yee, Head of Pillar, EPD, used a multi-material 3D printer known as the
Computer Numerical Control (CNC) knitting machine to fabricate this brace. Sensors, interconnects and resistors
were integrated within each knit.
