Abstract
The sensor cord of the present disclosure includes a first linear member, a second linear member, a third linear member, and a deformable insulation layer containing the first to third linear members. On a cross-sectional surface of the sensor cord taken perpendicular to longitudinal directions of the sensor cord, the third linear member is situated between the first linear member and the second linear member and contacts the first linear member and the second linear member. In each of the first linear member, the second linear member, and the third linear member, at least an outermost peripheral part has electrical conductivity and has resistance greater than or equal to 250 Ω/m in the longitudinal directions. The third linear member is configured to deform at a portion where pressure is applied. Resistance at the portion where the pressure is applied varies depending on an amount of deformation.
