Using sensors placed on different body parts (e.g., wrist, elbow, and knee) it also enabled the analysis of distinct phases involved in launching a ball into a basket (Figure ). In these hybrid hydrogels for biomedical applications, adhesion is generally mediated by physical interactions. As previously discussed, the catechol groups are widely used for ensuring firm adhesion to various substrates, especially skin, resisting stretching, matching the movement of a finger joint or the bending of a wrist, and remaining securely attached to the hand even under rapid shaking. different locations.
