Textile-based Body Capacitive Sensing for Movement Monitoring

Abstract

This data was collected from a set of textile capacitive sensors positioned on a knee sleeve above the knee and in contact with the skin (the body is used as one of two electrodes of each capacitive sensors). The data was used to predict joint angles (in this case, the knee sagittal angle) from the sensors response. Ground truth values for the angle are derived from optical motion capture. A single healthy participant performed two different movements each while wearing the sensorized knee sleeve and optical markers for simultaneous optical motion tracking.
