Various measurement systems can be used to obtain dynamic circumferences of the human upper body, but each of these systems has disadvantages. In this feasibility study we introduce a non-invasive and wearable thoracic belt to measure dynamic changes of circumferences of thorax or abdomen. To evalua...
