Smart gear

A garment system, comprising:

• a garment, comprising one or more electrically conductive fibers, one or more sensors, or both configured to transmit a signal, wherein the one or more electrically conductive fibers comprise one or more metal strands woven into fabric, and wherein the one or more sensors are coupled to the electrically conductive fibers;
• one or more processors configured to initiate a command based on the signal;
• and
• a prosthetic limb coupled to one or more internal shock absorbers, wherein the internal shock absorbers are configured to provide power to the one or more electrically conductive fibers, the one or more sensors or both.

A smart gear system, comprising:

• a fabric comprising one or more electrically conductive fibers, one or more sensors, or both;
• transceiver circuitry that is external to the fabric and communicatively coupled to the one or more sensors, wherein the transceiver circuitry is configured to transmit a signal;
• one or more processors configured to initiate a command based on the signal;
• and
• a prosthetic limb coupled to one or more internal shock absorbers, wherein the internal shock absorbers are configured to provide power to the electrically conductive fibers, the one or more sensors, the transceiver circuitry, or any combination thereof.
