In sports and rehabilitation, e-textiles must perform reliably under real-world loads. ETS develops textile solutions that combine freedom of movement, wearing comfort, and stable contact zones. Sensors and actuators are integrated in a way that preserves signal quality, durability, and wash resistance—even with intensive use.
Typical applications range from performance and movement analysis to physiotherapy, rehabilitation, and return-to-play scenarios.
E-textiles are well suited for performance monitoring, muscle analysis, training control, rehabilitation, and supportive stimulation use cases. The key requirement is stable signal and/or stimulation quality under movement.
From the development stage onward, materials, textile constructions, and electrode zones are designed and tested for stretch, abrasion, sweat, and frequent wash cycles.
Wellness applications prioritise wearing comfort, even stimulation, and a premium tactile feel, while performance limits and peak loads play a less critical role.
Textile sensors enable unobtrusive, long-term data capture directly within sleep textiles. This allows respiration patterns, heart activity, and brain activity to be monitored without rigid or disruptive hardware.
Typical use cases include TENS-based pain therapy and FES-assisted muscle training for prevention, rehabilitation, and supporting everyday mobility.
Materials, electrodes, and textile constructions are designed for skin compatibility, repeatable stimulation, and high durability, and are validated through defined test cycles.
