Abstract: Embodiments relate to prosthetic limbs and liners. An embodiment of the prosthetic liner is housed in a prosthetic limb and includes a liner body. The liner body includes a first end for receiving a body part of a user. The first end includes a liquid-retentive portion. The liner body includes an inner surface. The inner surface contacts with the body part. The inner surface includes a plurality of microchannels. The microchannels are formed along the inner surface. The microchannels are connected at one end to the liquid-retentive portion. At least one of the plurality of microchannels is configured to receive liquid droplets and direct the received liquid droplets to the liquid-retentive portion. The liner body also includes an outer surface opposite to the inner surface. The outer surface faces an interior surface of the prosthetic limb and is provided in an interior cavity of the prosthetic limb.

Abstract: There is provided a textile including a strain sensing portion integrally knitted therein and including groups of courses of yarn, each group including a first course of conductive yarn, a second course of dielectric yarn, and a third course of conductive yarn, each course including a plurality of knitted loops. The second course is arranged in between the first and third courses and configured to have a higher elasticity than the first and third courses such that when the strain sensing portion is at a relaxed state, corresponding knitted loops of the first and third courses are caused by a corresponding knitted loop of the second course to contact each other, and when the strain sensing portion is at a stretched state, corresponding knitted loops of the first and third courses are caused by a corresponding knitted loop of the second course to be not in contact with each other.
