Patent attributes
A movement sensing apparatus for use in a footwear item worn on a test subject, such as a person. The apparatus has movement sensor(s), an embedded electrical circuit, and an energy source. The sensor(s) generate movement signals representing movement of the footwear item while worn on a test subject's foot. The electrical circuit has a processor circuit coupled to receive the movement signals from the sensor(s), a buffer memory in communication with the processor circuit for storing movement data representing the movement signals, and a wireless interface controlled by the processor circuit for wirelessly transmitting movement data to an external host computing platform via an antenna. The energy source provides power to the circuit and sensor(s).
