This paper introduces a smart textile for posture classification. A distributed sensing and processing architecture is implemented into a loose fitting long sleeve shirt. Standardized interfaces to remote periphery support the variable placement of different sensor modalities at any location of the textile. The shirt is equipped with acceleration sensors in order to determine the postural resol...

Electrocardiogram (ECG) wearable smart textile shirt has widely been investigated due to its high flexibility, reusability, comfort, and the possibility of being used for home-based, real-life activities real-time measurement. ECG is an embedded sensor inside a cloth that can capture data in more convenient ways ease user-friendly, especially continuous long-term acquisition outside laboratory ...

Powerlifting, like many sports, uses specialized equipment to enhance performance and decrease the chance of injury. The purpose of this exploratory study was to determine whether wearing a bench press shirt would alter the natural mechanics of the bench press, causing a more efficient lift when pressing the same weight as without the bench shirt. Participants (n = 5) completed 2 series of 1-re...

The implementation of truly wearable, instrumented garments which are capable of recording biomechanical variables is crucial in several fields of application, from multimedia to rehabilitation, from sport to artistic fields. In this paper we discuss wearable devices (a smart shirt, a leotard and a glove) which can read and record the vital signs and movements of a subject wearing the system. T...
