Abstract

Systems and method for monitoring gait dynamics are disclosed. The performance of an orthotic or prosthetic device (30) or other device associated with a limb may be measured based on the resistance of a bending sensor (38). Data from the sensors is gathered or processed, particularly for purposes of alignment, safety, failure, usage, selection, and artificial proprioception. Information relating to the device may be outputted visually or auditorily to an individual.
