Characterization of screen printed Ag-PDMS flexible electrode for electrical muscle stimulation (EMS)

Electrical Stimulation is vital for maintaining muscle tone and strength particularly in improving muscle conditions. However, commonly used electrodes for muscle stimulation are flat, solid and have a fixed curvature and therefore cannot conform to the surface of the body. In this paper, a newly...
