Pus​hing Textiles  Forward through technology-

The Elbow Flexion project studies the use of a flexible sleeve, not a brace, that uses sewn in sensors and power sources to wirelessly transmit tracking data to a doctor to monitor the healing process and reduce recovery time for elbow injuries.


Textile based sensors and textile based power generation methods are the elements behind Ohio State University junior Raman Vilkhu's Elbow Flexion joint monitoring sleeve project.  The wireless sleeve project won Electrical and Computer engineering student, Raman Vilkhu, the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques (MTT-S) Scholarship award.  The MTT-S promotes the advancement of microwave theory and its applications including RF, microwave, millimeter wave and terahertz technologies.
