1. A device for determining the velocity and, optionally, the distance traveled by an object through measuring successive stepping movements of the object, which device comprises:

  • (a) measuring means for measuring the acceleration of the object in two main directions during a stepping movement;

    (b) processing means for determining the velocity from the measured accelerations, wherein the processing means are configured such that, on the basis of an orientation progression, the measured accelerations are integrated to a velocity and optional determination of the distance traveled; and

    (c) means for displaying the velocity and, optionally, the distance traveled as calculated by the processing means.
