Fig. 1

a The wearable joint motion monitoring fabric-based multi-angle fiber array sensor worn on the shoulder, knee, and wrist. The types of motion detected at each joint are also depicted. b Schematic representation of 12 CNT-embedded spandex fibers arranged radially at 15° intervals on the strain-sensing fabric. c Fiber arrayed fabric sensors in the warmers that were used to monitor shoulder, knee, and wrist movement. Scale bars: 40 mm. d Joint motion at various angles was read by recording the resistance change of the multi-angle fiber array comprising 12 radially arranged sensors. The multi-angle fiber array mapping response differs in flexion and rotation. I, M. Son, consent to the use of my picture in connection with the photographs.
