1. A sensor band configured for attachment to a calf of a mammal and used in measuring track and balance motion of the mammal, comprising:
- one or more first sensors for sensing muscle circumferential pressure at multiple calf positions;
one or more second sensors for sensing Earth'"'"'s magnetic field; and
one or more third sensors for sensing Earth'"'"'s gravitational field.

15. A system for measuring track and balance motion comprising:
-
plural first sensor bands each configured for attachment to a respective calves of a mammal and providing first track and balance-related data; and processing circuitry for receiving the first track and balance-related data from the sensor bands when the sensor bands are attached to the calves of the mammal and for estimating track and balance metrics across multiple gait cycles based on the received first track and balance-related data. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
