This invention includes improved IP sensors that both have improvedsensitivity, performance, and other properties and are multifunctional. Theimproved IP sensors have IP sensor conductors with waveforms having legs thatare substantially parallel throughout the operating range of stretch. Themultifunctional IP sensors include, in addition to IP sensors, accessoryconductors, additional sensors, and other compatible modules. This inventionsalso includes embodiments of apparel incorporating the improved IP sensors.This apparel can range from band-like to shirt-like, and so forth, and includeone or more IP sensors sensitive to expansions and contractions of underlyingregions of a monitored subject.
