Claim 0:
1. A negative pressure wound therapy system, comprising:
a wound dressing for a wound of a patient;
a first sensor configured to be coupled to the wound dressing, the first sensor configured to output an indication of a displacement in a first direction of the wound dressing;
a second sensor configured to be coupled to the wound dressing, the second sensor configured to output an indication of a displacement in a second direction of the wound dressing, the second direction perpendicular to the first direction;
wherein the wound dressing is configured to extend a first length along the first direction and a second length greater than the first length along the second direction; and
a control circuit configured to:
receive the indication of the displacement in the first direction and the indication of displacement in the second direction of the wound dressing,
calculate a therapy parameter including at least an appositional force of the wound dressing corresponding to the indication of the displacement in the first direction and a longitudinal movement of the wound dressing corresponding to the indication of displacement in the second direction, and
output the therapy parameter.
