Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 1:
2. The electronic device of claim 1 wherein the walking aid is a pair of crutches or canes, wherein the electronic device is a first electronic device associated with a first crutch or cane of the pair, wherein the data from the at least one load sensor is indicative of a dynamic load on the first crutch or cane during the patient step, and further comprising:
a wireless transceiver configured to receive, from a second electronic device associated with a second crutch or cane of the pair, wireless signals carrying data indicative of a dynamic load on the second crutch or cane during the patient step; and
wherein the determining of the peak load upon the walking aid during the patient step comprises:
generating, based on the data indicative of the dynamic load on the first crutch or cane and the data indicative of the dynamic load on the second crutch or cane, a representation of a dynamic load on the pair of crutches or canes collectively during the patient step; and
based on the generated representation, determining a maximum load on the pair of crutches or canes during the patient step,

wherein the peak load upon the walking aid during the patient step is the maximum load on the pair of crutches or canes during the patient step.
