A system embodiment includes, but is not limited to, a deformable substrate integrated with a textile configured to conform to a body portion of an individual subject; one or more strain gauges integrated with; an optional sensor assembly coupled to the textile, the optional sensor assembly including one or more strain gauges configured to generate one or more sense signals associated with a strain of the textile; circuitry operably coupled to the one or more strain gauges of the sensor assembly and configured to receive the one or more sense signals associated with the strain of the textile; and a reporter operably coupled to the circuitry and configured to generate one or more communication signals associated with the strain of the textile responsive to instruction by the circuitry when the strain of the textile is less than, or greater than a threshold strain value.
