Abstract:
A wearable device comprises a flexible substrate carrying multiple conducting loops which are formed into a zig zag pattern so as to be able to accommodate a stretching of the substrate. The substrate is formed into a glove and the loops positioned such that they are aligned with the anatomical joints. As the anatomical joints move, the loops change shape and accordingly change their inductance—this is measured by the electronics in the glove and used to calculate the joint angles in a processor which transmits the angles to an external computer system. Some of the loops are attached to current drivers in the electronics module, and a magnet positioned close to the loop, providing means for a force to be generated between magnet and loop when the current driver passes current through the loop, thereby providing tactile feedback to the user.

Claim (Index 1):
1 } A wearable device providing means of body joint angle measurement comprising;\n a) A flexible, elastic substrate. b) Means for attaching said substrate to the body. c) Conductive loops mounted upon or within the substrate in positions aligned to body joints when the device is worn. d) Inductance measurement circuits attached to some or all of the conductive loops by means of conductive wires passing within or upon the garment. e) A processor attached to the inductance measuring circuits, providing means to collect the values together from each circuit and from the inductance values to calculate body joint angles.
