Knitted Coil for Inductive Plethysmography
Knitting a thin insulated metal wire simultaneously with elastic yarn in the round creates a coil with a self-inductance close to a wound coil. This knit is flexible and can be stretched, allowing the diameter of the coil to change, resulting in a change of its self-inductance. It is found that rib stitch gives the highest inductance but stocking stitch gives the highest variation of self-inductance with changing diameter. The feasibility of using the knitted coil for inductive plethysmography is demonstrated by simulated breathing in a baby jumper with knitted coils.
