1. A sensor device comprising:
- an insole having a sensor body abutting the insole;
pressure sensors operably mounted on the sensor body for sensing pressure exerted on the insole, the pressure sensors functioning to generate a pressure data signal indicating the pressures sensed;
an accelerometer mounted on the insole, the accelerometer functioning to generate a movement data signal indicating the measuring movement of the insole;
a transmitter for transmitting the pressure data signal and the movement data signal; and
a reporting device having a receiver for receiving the pressure data signal and the movement data signal, the reporting device further having a processor and a computer-readable medium for storing the pressure data signal and the movement data signal.

Abstract
A sensor device has an insole, a sensor body abutting the insole, pressure sensors operably mounted on the sensor body for generating a pressure data signal, and an accelerometer mounted on the insole for generating a movement data signal indicating the measuring movement of the insole. A transmitter is used for transmitting the pressure data signal and the movement data signal to a reporting device having a receiver for receiving the pressure data signal and the movement data signal. The reporting device further has a processor and a computer-readable medium for storing the pressure data signal and the movement data signal.
