1. A method for analyzing activity of a person in locomotion on foot on a surface, comprising steps of:

  • (a) using a sensor to generate a signal in response to movement of the person when the person is in locomotion without exerting compression forces on the sensor to generate the signal; and

    (b) analyzing the signal to determine a moment that the foot leaves the surface during a footstep taken by the person.
