Abstract
This invention is smart clothing with stretch and/or bend sensors for measuring changes in a person's body configuration. This smart clothing has an elastic nonconductive layer onto which helical converging/diverging conductive pathways are printed using ink which is a mixture of elastic nonconductive material and conductive material. Changes in the transmission of electromagnetic energy through the pathway are analyzed to measure changes in the configuration of the person's body.
