Patent ID: 8382688

Claim:
A sensor device, comprising: a sensor including a casing and a sensor element disposed within the casing, the sensor being configured to detect a parameter associated with a gait event; an electronic communication unit in electrical communication with the sensor and configured to receive from the sensor information associated with the parameter, the electronic communication unit configured for wireless communication with an external device, the electronic communication unit including a housing that is substantially mechanically independent of the casing of the sensor, the housing of the electronic communication unit having a proximal end portion, a distal end portion and an inner face extended between the proximal end portion of the housing and the distal end portion of the housing, the inner face of the housing configured to face a body; and a fastener having a proximal end portion coupled to the distal end portion of the housing of the electronic communication unit by a hinge such that no portion of the fastener is disposed between the inner face of the housing and the body when the inner face of the housing is facing the body, the hinge configured to permit adjustment of the housing with respect to the fastener such that an angle of the inner face of the housing with respect to the fastener can be selectively increased and decreased.
