1. A method for measuring bending of an orthotic or prosthetic device associated with a limb, comprising:

  • providing an orthotic or prosthetic device having at least one sensor associated therewith;

    measuring with said sensor a bending force of the sensor while the device is in use, said sensor bending with the device;

    determining whether said bending force is inside or outside of a predetermined range or exceeds a threshold value; and

    communicating information regarding whether said bending force is inside or outside of the predetermined range or exceeds the threshold value.
