Bra, Garment and Method
A bra (1) for use in measuring biosignals of a wearer, a garment (120) comprising such a bra (1) and a method of manufacture. The bra (1) comprises a front region (2); a rear region (4); a 5 pair of side regions (6, 8) extending between the front region (2) and the rear region (4); and a measuring apparatus (100) comprising a sensor assembly (104) comprising one or more electrodes (106, 108, 110). One of the side regions (6, 8) comprises a mounting arrangement for removably receiving an electronics module (102) of the measuring apparatus (100). The electronics module (102) is arranged to receive measurement signals from the one or more 10 electrodes (106, 108, 110). The electronics module (102) may be located in a pocket (54) provided on or in one of the side regions (6, 8), optionally a hidden pocket.
Systems and methods of treating proprioceptive dysfunction and vestibular disorders
The systems, methods, apparatuses, and articles disclosed herein provide a new approach to treatment symptoms, such as proprioceptive dysfunction and vestibular disorders, which may be caused by certain types of human ailments. According to the present disclosure, a wearable article may include one or more limb sections and a resilient member may be provided along a length of each of the one or more limb sections and configured to generate a resistance force. Adjustments to the resistance force provided by the resilient member(s) may be adjusted using cord locks. As a user wearing the wearable article moves, the resistance force is applied to the user's limbs. Strain gauges may be provided to measure the resistance force(s), which enables verification that the resilient members are sized and configured to provide an appropriate amount of resistance force to a user and may improve programs and regimens designed to treat such ailments.
Systems and Methods For Monitoring Physical Therapy Of The Knee And Other Joints
A system for monitoring a joint of a patient is described. The system includes at least one sensor configured to be coupled near the joint of the patient, the at least one sensor configured to sense one or more measurements of the joint. The system also includes a computing device comprising a digital processing device configured to receive the one or more measurements, determine one or more joint parameters based on the one or more measurements, generate a user interface for display, the user interface including a graphical representation of the one or more joint parameters. The digital processing device is also configured to compare the one or more joint parameters to a predetermined threshold and generate an icon for display within the user interface. The icon being generated in response to one of the one or more joint parameters exceeding the predetermined threshold.

BIOSENSING TEXTILE AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME
The method comprises providing a textile patch (103) comprising a biosensing unit (101a, b). The method comprises providing a controller (105) for controlling the biosensing unit (101a,b) ono a surface of the textile patch (103). The method comprises attaching the textile patch (103) to a textile panel (107) to form the biosensing textile. The controller (105) is sandwiched between the textile patch (103) and the textile panel (107). The textile panel (107) may be attached to the inside of a garment (200). A garment and textile panel are also provided.
Wearable health monitoring fabric
A wearable health monitoring fabric is provided. The wearable fabric includes a set of textrodes. The set of textrodes is configured to measure thoracic electrical bioimpedance (TEB) of a user's body. The set of textrodes include at least two first textrodes. The set of textrodes also include at least two second textrodes. The set of textrodes is fabricated on an upper part of the wearable fabric. Further, the wearable health monitoring fabric is more compatible and user friendly as the textrodes are non-invasive in nature.
