Electronic Bodysuit Could Treat Neurologically Impaired
From: Medical Design Briefs - 01/01/2014

A specially-designed elastic bodysuit covered with electrodes, which was
designed at Stockholm's KTH Royal Institute of Technology, in collaboration
with health care and business partners, could be used to help those suffering
with brain damage or neurological disorders, such as multiple sclerosis or
Parkinson’s disease.

The bodysuit, made of ordinary swimsuit material, has conductive elastic sewn
into it, with electrodes located at the major muscles. Battery-powered light
current is conducted via silver wires to 58 electrodes attached to the inside
of the garment which, in turn, stimulate up to 42 distinct muscles, according
to the patient's needs. Batteries are placed in a small control box fitted at
the waistband.
