Variable Modulus Body Brace And Body Brace System |
| 摘要 |
A brace for a part of a body includes a first conductive fiber associated with a first polarity, and a second conductive fiber associated with a second polarity different from the first polarity. The second fiber is woven together with the first fiber and insulated from the first fiber. The brace also includes a selectively electrically activated cross-linking agent between the first and second fibers. The agent is constructed to cross-link in a first active mode when the first and second fibers are electrified and is constructed to not cross-link in a second inactive mode when the first and second fibers are not electrified. The brace surrounds a body part, such as a knee or neck. The agent can include an ER fluid and/or EAP. A brace system includes a selectively electrically activated brace for the part of the body. |

1. A brace for at least a part of a body comprising:
a first conductive fiber associated with a first polarity; and a second conductive fiber associated with a second polarity different from the first polarity, the second fiber woven together with the first fiber and insulated from the first fiber; and a selectively electrically activated cross-linking agent between the first and second fiber, wherein the agent is constructed to limit relative movement of the first and second fibers in a first active mode when the first and second fibers are electrified. |
