The developed knitted resistive fabric is related to the production of "smart textiles", integrated in garments for health monitoring. this fabric is produced from conductive resistive, nonconductive regular and nonconductive elastomeric yarns. Elastomeric yarn is the base yarn and is knitted in the whole fabric, but isolating and resistive yarns (functional yarns) are knitted separately from each other, but together with the base yarn in a specific sequence. The proposed knitted resistive fabric has high sensitivity to strain deformation and can be used as a sensing element to control deformation of the human body parts, joint motion, respiration, etc.
