Abstract

3D printed soft sensors are transforming rehabilitation by enabling flexible, lightweight, and wearable systems for monitoring human motion and physical interactions. Advances in additive manufacturing allow rapid fabrication of customized sensors capable of detecting strain, pressure, force, and bending. These sensors support applications in movement tracking, assistive devices, prosthetics, and patient recovery assessment. This work focuses on 3D printed soft sensors for rehabilitation applications.
