Design of Wearable Finger Sensors for Rehabilitation Applications
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Figure 5 it is better to have the units in seconds rather than ms.
A table summarizing the differences from Version 1 and Version 2 sensors is better.

Reviewer 2 Report
The wearable sensor is an emerging technology for conformal integration with human bodies. In this manuscript, Bozali et al. report wearable finger-movement sensors based on a knitted structure. The textile-based sensors can be valuable in health monitoring applications. I recommend the manuscript be considered for publication after addressing the following issues:
1. I could not quite understand the fabrication process illustrated in Figure 1. Some improvements of the schematic illustration is highly encouraged. A good example is available in Reference [21].
2. What does the mean value in Table 1 standard for? The values are inconsistent with either Figure 3 (~ 10 ohms) or Figure 5 (ΔR/R0 ~0.4 and 0.12).
3. The statements about the increasing layer thickness are extremely confusing in the Discussion and Conclusion sections.
Minor points:
1. In all figures, the ordinate values should use points instead of commas for decimals.
2. In Figure 7, the angles are clearly not 45 degrees.
