Claims13
An electrode including an embroidered element comprising electrically conductive thread embroidered onto a backing characterised in that the element comprises a first_portion in which the thread is stitched with an orientation such that thread direction is substantially parallel with a first direction of electrical conduction and a second portion in which the thread is stitched with an orientation such that thread direction is substantially parallel with a second direction of electrical conduction, the first and second portions contacting in at least one location.
An embroidered electrode comprised of electrically conductive thread stitched on a backing material to form one or more embroidered element wherein said electrode comprises a primary embroidered element and one or more further embroidered element extending from a portion of the primary element,
- wherein the primary embroidered element forms a peripheral electrode component and at least one of the further embroidered elements extends within the periphery described by the peripheral component from one portion of the primary element to another portion of the primary element.
