Porous-Structure Flexible Muscle Sensor for Monitoring Muscle Function and Mass.

ABSTRACT: Muscle function and composition are important indicators of age-related health. However, current assessment methods are often complex and expensive, making the early detection of related problems difficult. Therefore, developing a cost-effective and easily accessible daily based detection method is an essential research focus. This study introduces a novel portable porous-structured (i.e., CNT/PDMS nanocomposite) and flexible piezoresistive sensor for evaluating muscle function and relative skeletal muscle mass index, offering advantages of cost-effectiveness, safety, and user-friendliness. The porous architecture significantly enhances sensitivity, while the flexible design ensures excellent conformability to the skin and adaptability to complex body movements.
