Abstract

In the paper the research of flat textile products for use as electrodes was presented. To determine the suitability of textile materials, resistance measurements were carried out. Based on the received results of studies different types of textile electrodes were designed. Textile electrodes tests were caried out on human phantoms. The electro-conductive properties of human forearm phantom were also described. Based on these results special electro-conductive hydrogels with electro-conductive particles were feasible. The hydrogel is an important element of the forearm‘s phantom model of a survey of electrodes for muscle electrostimulation. The hydrogel is equivalent to human skin and tissue. The hydrogel should have a permanence and repetition of the electro-conductive properties.
