15. A method for analyzing gait using textile sensors, comprising:
-
detecting, using a processor, a signal of a posture or movement change generated by a sock sensing system comprising the processor and a sensor in a sock, in a sock and shoe combination, or in a sock and insole combination, analyzing the signal to generate a gait parameter, wherein the gait parameter is generated by a program processing module and the gait parameter is calculated using a signal from at least one sensor in the sock sensing system as a trigger point. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 20)
