1. A method for analyzing motion of an individual, comprising:

  • a) affixing at least a tri-axial accelerometer with respect to a user'"'"'s foot;

    b) collecting accelerometer data from the tri-axial accelerometer;

    c) determining incline during stance phase based on the accelerometer data from the tri-axial accelerometer using an electronic processor;

    d) determining stance phase based on the accelerometer data from tri-axial accelerometer using the electronic processor; and

    e) determining an energy expenditure of the individual based on the inclination of the shoe with respect to the ground over a period of time using the electronic processor.
