The invention relates to a flex sensor, and more particularly, to an instrumented glove comprising one or more such flex sensors. A flex sensor comprising an elongated body of a material whose electrical resistance depends on a magnitude of a bending of the elongated body. At least three electrically conducting lines are attached to the elongated body. Measuring the resistance between the three electrically conducting lines gives the magnitude of the bending of the elongated body. The invention further relates to an assembly of flex sensors and to a data glove comprising at least one flex sensor.
