The study of innovative textile muscles is useful for the construction of prototypes of active suits. These suits are obtained by inserting small pneumatic muscles into a vest. The muscles allow some movements of the upper limb to be made for rehabilitation or motor recuperation purposes. An innovative textile bellows muscle is presented in this paper, where its performances have been evaluated by means of both an analytic and a numerical model.
