Light-emitting textile sensors optimise prosthetic fit and comfort
Purdue University engineers, together with collaborators at the University of Notre Dame, have developed a wearable solution for prosthetics using embroidered, light-emitting textiles that integrate illumination and sensing to detect both normal and shear forces at the limb–socket interface.
