Abstract:
There is provided a garment configured for sensing movement of an adjacent underlying body portion of a wearer via sensors, the garment having a body with a plurality of fibres knitted together to form a layer, the layer for positioning adjacent to the underlying body portion of the wearer; electrical connectors attached to the body for facilitating receipt and transmission of signals between a controller and the sensors; a conductive pathway electrically connected to the connectors and to the sensors, each of the sensors incorporated in the layer by knitting as part of the plurality of fibres, wherein the controller measures changes in at least one of resistance or capacitance of the as representative of the movement of the underlying body portion when positioned adjacent to the sensors.
