Circuits, systems, and methods for monitoring and coaching a person's sideways spacing foot placement and roll, shoe life, and other running/walking characteristics
First Claim
1. A foot monitoring system comprising:
- a measurement circuit configured to measure sideways roll of a person'"'"'s foot during at least a portion of forward rolling progression as the foot rolls forward from an impact location to lift-off from a running surface while the person is walking/running; and
an alert circuit that is configured to;
determine based on the sideways roll that the person should change sideways spacing in a sideways direction between forward paths of the person'"'"'s feet to change further measured values of the sideways roll of the person'"'"'s foot toward preferred sideways roll values of the person'"'"'s foot while the person continues walking/running; and
generate a notification that indicates to the person to change the sideways spacing in the sideways direction between forward paths of the person'"'"'s feet while the person continues walking/running.

Abstract
A foot monitoring system includes a measurement circuit and an alert circuit. The measurement circuit measures sideways roll of a person'"'"'s foot while the person is walking/running. The alert circuit determines that the person should change sideways spacing between the person'"'"'s feet to change further measured values of the sideways roll of the person'"'"'s foot toward preferred sideways roll values, and generates a notification that indicates to the person to change the sideways spacing between the feet. The foot measurement circuit may determine how much shoe cushioning life remains for a shoe worn by the person in response to comparison of values a peak pulse segment of impact measurements to another segment of the impact measurements that is outside the peak pulse segment.
