Abstract
Disclosed is a structure for therapeutic applications comprising at least one layer with sensor elements and heating elements. A first force affects the layer from one side and a second force affects the layer from the other side. The forces are detectable. The sensor elements can comprise, for example, position sensors, pressure sensors, and temperature sensors.
Claims22
A structure for external hydromassage therapeutic applications with at least one moveable jet comprising:
- at least one layer comprising:
- a fabric into which different fibers are woven together, and
- a plurality of sensor elements integrated within the different fibers of the fabric and distributed throughout the at least one layer, wherein the pressure sensor elements are arranged to detect and measure a plurality of first pressure forces applied to a plurality of positions on the at least one layer from one side and a plurality of second pressure forces applied to a plurality of positions on the at least one layer from an opposite side,
- an upper layer comprising the fabric into which different fibers are woven together,
- a lower layer comprising the fabric into which different fibers are woven together,
- wherein the structure is arranged as an area of support for receiving at least one body part of a user on the one side and for receiving impact forces from the at least one moveable jet from the opposite side, and
- wherein the at least one layer is sandwiched between and abuts against the upper layer and the lower layer.
