Stretchable fabric sleeve for functional electrical stimulation and/or electromyography

A device for use in performing functional electrical stimulation (FES), in performing neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), and/or in receiving electromyography (EMG) signals, the device comprising:

• a sleeve sized and shaped to be worn on a human arm and comprising a fabric having a stretch of in the range 7% to 25% inclusive in the circumferential direction when worn on the human arm, the sleeve having a distal end disposed on or adjacent a wrist of the human arm when the sleeve is worn on the human arm and a proximal end opposite from the distal end, wherein the sleeve includes:
• an inner sleeve that is in contact with the skin of the human arm when the sleeve is worn on the human arm;
• and
• an outer sleeve disposed over the inner sleeve when the sleeve is worn on the human arm;
• and
• electrodes secured with the sleeve and positioned to contact skin of the human arm when the sleeve is worn on the human arm, wherein the inner sleeve has openings in which the electrodes are disposed.

• a Cartesian alignment grid printed on the distal end of the sleeve and/or the proximal end of the sleeve;
• and
• electrodes secured with the sleeve and positioned to contact skin of the human arm when the sleeve is worn on the human arm.
