摘要:
A general-purpose force sensor, which can be used with an orthotic device, is provided utilizing both resistive and capacitive techniques for improved accuracy and reliability compared to either type of sensor alone. The system can detect internal fault conditions and continues to operate correctly despite the failure of one of the sensors. The sensor can be self-calibrating to give accurate readings despite changes in the physical properties of the sensing elements over time.
