Cardiovascular diseases are the most frequent cause of death worldwide. Cases of cardiac arrest can often be attributed to undetected cardiac arrhythmia. Detecting rare episodes of arrhythmia necessitates long-term ECG measurements along days or weeks. However, due to the relatively small number of electrodes used for these ECGs, abnormal episodes can still go unrecognized. This article thus describes the development of underwear with ten inbuilt textile ECG electrodes, allowing for the measurement of long-term 12-lead ECG. As against the constructs of other research groups, the position of electrodes offers the same detection directions as the common 12-lead ECG equipment in hospitals or medical practices. Long-term tests have shown the suitability of the sensory underwear variants for men and women to detect reliable ECG signals without disturbing the patients’ comfort.

Textile Technology Department, University of Applied Science, Mönchengladbach, Germany A new flexible cloth fell movement measuring device, hereafter referred to as the 'needle-mechanical device', has been developed to facilitate the use, for the first time, of a measuring position just 2 millimetres from the cloth fell. In addition, the experimental set-up was built in a combination between the needle-mechanical device and the Weave Master to record the dynamic cloth fell's movement cycles on-loom. The results of these measurements were analysed and discussed in the light of the theory developed in part I.

Extensive coverage of previous work in the area of cloth fell movement, the circumstances of its beginning, and its influences are reviewed. The review also includes previous work describing factors that affect cloth fell movement. The advantages and disadvantages of the methods used hitherto are underlined and the need of a satisfactory measuring method is emphasised.
