Design of TENS Electrodes Using Diff erent Production Techniques

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) treatment has been widely used in physical therapy to relieve diff erent types of pain.The TENS therapy is a non-invasive method applied with general types of electrodes, i.e. carbon and self-adhesive hydrogel electrodes.These electrodes are reusable, which might cause hygiene problems.In this study, two diff erent types of textile TENS electrodes were designed and produced with the sewing and embroidering technique using conductive yarn.Afterwards, the resistance values of produced electrodes were measured and compared to conventional carbon and self-adhesive hydrogel electrodes.Furthermore, the designed electrodes were connected to a commercially available TENS device and current transmission from the electrodes was tested on subjects.
