Abstract
A multimodal sensing system comprises a plurality of sensors placed proximate to a body part. The sensing system receives, using a plurality of sensors, a plurality of signals related to at least one of a movement and a pose of the body part. The sensing system then extrapolates information regarding the type of movement or pose and at least one characteristic of the type a movement or pose.

A multimodal sensing system, comprising:
- a plurality of sensors operably located within a housing, wherein the housing is adapted to be placed proximate to a body part, the plurality of sensors adapted to transmit and infuse signals to a user wherein each of the infused signals is orthogonal from each other signal infused to the user, and then receive the transmitted signals;
- and,
- a processor operably connected to the plurality of sensors, wherein the processor is adapted to receive information from each of the plurality of sensors, and to process the information to determine a type of the at least one of a movement and a pose and at least one characteristic of the type of the at least one of a movement and a pose.
A method for sensing movement of a body part using a multimodal sensing system, comprising:
- placing a housing proximate to a body part, wherein operably located within the housing is a plurality of sensors and a processor, wherein the processor is operably connected to the plurality of sensors;
- transmitting at least one signal from the multimodal sensing system and infusing signals to a user wherein each of the infused signals is orthogonal from each other signal infused to the user;
- receiving a plurality of signals related to at least one of a movement and a pose of the body part using the plurality of sensors from the multimodal sensing system;
- processing using the processor at least one of the plurality of signals;
- and,
- determining a type of the at least one of a movement and a pose and at least one characteristic of the type of the at least one of a movement and a pose.
