Methods for determining weight of a person
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring fractional weight supported by one foot of a person, comprising the steps of:
- adhering a movement monitor device underneath the foot such that the device is compressed when weight is applied to the foot;
generating wireless signals representative of a fractional weight supported by the foot;
remotely receiving the wireless signals as information of the fractional weight, andinforming the person of the fractional weight.

Abstract
A method for monitoring fractional weight supported by one foot of a person, comprising the steps of adhering a movement monitor device underneath the foot such that the device is compressed when weight is applied to the foot; generating wireless signals representative of a target fractional weight of a total weight of the person; remotely receiving the wireless signals as information of the fractional weight. A method of monitoring weight of a person, comprising the steps of arranging one or more weight sensitive detectors underneath a foot of the person; processing signals from the detectors to determine weight; and wirelessly communicating the weight to a remote receiver.

14. A method for monitoring fractional weight supported by one foot of a person, comprising the steps of:
-
calibrating a movement monitor device to at least one fractional weight of a person'"'"'s total body weight; adhering the movement monitor device underneath the person'"'"'s foot such that the device is compressed when weight is applied to the foot; generating wireless signals representative of a weight supported by the foot; comparing the wireless signals with the fractional weight, and informing the person when the supported weight is substantially equal to the fractional weight. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
