N2 - In this paper, a wearable textile-based electrode array that is capable of both functional electrical stimulation (FES) and surface electromyography (EMG) recording was proposed. The electrode array was fabricated with a screen-printing method by printing multi-layer functional stretchable pastes on polyester/cotton textile base. During the FES and sEMG recording tests, the fabricated electrode array showed the capability of realizing electrical stimulation and sEMG recording. This research aims at providing a new multifunctional tool for rehabilitation purpose. In this paper, a wearable textile-based electrode array that is capable of both functional electrical stimulation (FES) and surface electromyography (EMG) recording was proposed. The electrode array was fabricated with a screen-printing method by printing 4 layers functional stretchable pastes, which were stretchable insulating paste, stretchable conductive silver paste, and stretchable conductive carbon paste, on polyester/cotton textile base. For tests, the fabricated electrode array was connected to a customized connector, through the connector the fabricated electrode array was connected to FES stimulator and sEMG recording device for tests. During the FES and sEMG recording tests, the fabricated electrode array showed the capability of realizing electrical stimulation and sEMG recording, while the sEMG recording quality was not very stable and needs to be improved. This research aims at providing a new multifunctional tool for rehabilitation purpose.
