관성 센서와 압력 센서를 이용한 가변압박 슬리브

초록

Compression garments (CGs) are clothing that can CGs or joints of body using elastic fibers. CGs is used in various forms in the medical field and sports field. Typical CGs can represent a single pressure and change pressure using a passive mechanism. These single CGs can interfere with movement and can cause skin or vascular problems when worn for long periods. To overcome the shortcomings of the CG that shows such a single pressure, a variable pressure sleeve using a wire-motor mechanism is designed. We also conducted a preliminary test of the ability to change the compression according to the detected wearer's movement by using the inertial measurement units. The variable pressure mechanism sleeve proposed in this study can show the appropriate pressure in real-time for various activities of the wearer, and it can be expected to improve the wearer's effective physical ability by securing the complementing of the existing CG which represents the single pressure.
