A body-scale textile-based electromyogram monitoring system with coaxially shielded conductive yarns.

ABSTRACT: A crucial aim of wearable electronics is to acquire biological signals from the body with high precision. However, obtaining high-accuracy electromyogram (EMG) signals from a large area surrounded by noise sources remains challenging. In this study, we present a body-scale textile-based wireless electromyogram monitoring system with coaxially shielded conductive yarns that can reduce the influence of surrounding noise. The wiring yarns comprise three stretchable components: a conductive signal yarn, polyurethane insulating layer, and shielding conductor. The introduction of the shielding conductor suppresses noise contamination. The noise level remains below 0.1 millivolts, despite the wiring being directly pressed at nominal contact pressures exceeding 30 kilopascals. The muscle activity
