Instrumented orthotic

A semi-rigid foot orthotic can have 3-axis accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers, and strain gauges embedded in one or more flexible regions along with a microprocessor and wireless transmitter. Data from the sensors can be used to track the gait cycle. Data on the flexing, bending, or rotating of portions of the orthotic are processed and compared to ideal or data from other runs to rate the effectiveness of the orthotic. The orthotic and the sole of the shoe have relative freedom of motion between them. By doing a 3D comparing of the location, motion and orientation of the shoe from the same information for at least one orthotic region; determining shoe-to-orthotic relative motion. Modifications or adjustments can be made to improve the user-experience. The computation can involve either or both of a cloud based server and an external hand-held device in wireless communication with the orthotic.
