Among them, the electromyography (EMG) suit measures the electrical signals generated by the muscles to check their activity, such as contraction and relaxation. General gel-type electrodes have been reported to cause skin diseases due to an uncomfortable feel and skin irritation when attached to the skin for a long time. Dry electrodes of various materials are being developed to solve this problem. Previous research has reported EMG detectio performance and conducted economic comparisons according to the size and shape of the embroidery electrode. On the other hand, these embroidery electrodes still have foreign body sensations. In this study, a moss sEMG electrode was produced with various shapes (W3 and WF) and loop lengths (1\u20135 mm). The optimized conditions of the embroidery-based electrodes were derived and analyzed with the tactile comfort factors and sensing performances. As the loop length of the electrode increased, MIU and Qmax increased, but the SMD decreased due to the free movement of the threads constituting the loop. Impedance and sEMG detection performance showed different trends depending on the electrode type.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23219012","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,6]],"date-time":"2023-11-06T13:24:53Z","timestamp":1699277093000},"page":"9012","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Fabrication and Evaluation of Embroidery-Based Electrode for EMG Smart Wear Using Moss Stitch Technique"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0714-4659","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Soohyeon","family":"Rho","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Material and Component Convergence R&D Department, Korea Institute of Industrial Technology (KITECH), Ansan 15588, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Department of Nano Science and Technology, Sungkyunkwan University, Suwon 16419, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4880-7420","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hyelim","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Material and Component Convergence R&D Department, Korea Institute of Industrial Technology (KITECH), Ansan 15588, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daeyoung","family":"Lim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Material and Component Convergence R&D Department, Korea Institute of Industrial Technology (KITECH), Ansan 15588, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5643-1035","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wonyoung","family":"Jeong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Material and Component Convergence R&D Department, Korea Institute of Industrial Technology (KITECH), Ansan 15588, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"135","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02875782","article-title":"Putting function into fashion: Organic conducting polymer fibres and textiles","volume":"8","author":"Wallace","year":"2007","journal-title":"Fibers Polym."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2100469","DOI":"10.1002\/adem.202100469","article-title":"Textronics\u2014A Review of Textile-Based Wearable Electronics","volume":"23","author":"Choudhry","year":"2021","journal-title":"Adv.
