1. A multi-sensor pedometer comprising:

  • a first housing having a plurality of sidewalls encasing a compartment;

    a sensing film disposed on at least a portion of one of the plurality of sidewalls, wherein the sensing film is configured to produce a predictable flexing when interfacing a predetermined muscle;

    an piezo-electric sensor housed within the compartment, wherein the piezo-electric sensor is electromechanically connected to the sensing film, and wherein the piezo-electric sensor is configured to transmit an electronic step signal for every predictable flexing thereof;

    an accelerometer housed within the compartment, wherein the accelerometer is configured to send a motion signal when proper acceleration is detected; and

    a control circuitry housed within the compartment, wherein the control circuitry is electronically connected to the piezo-electric sensor and the accelerometer, wherein the control circuitry is configured to count at least one identifiable step when receiving the motion signal within a predetermined time of receiving the step signal.
