Abstract
A corrective alignment foot brace is disclosed with a sensor system that allows for objective assessment and dynamic adjustment of foot brace parameters. In preferred embodiments, the corrective alignment foot brace includes a first shoe and a second shoe connected by a bar or any rigid system between them. The first shoe is configured to be adjustably oriented relative to the second shoe and relative to the bar. In some embodiments, the second shoe is similarly configured to be adjustably oriented relative to the first shoe and the bar. The corrective alignment foot brace further includes a sensor module coupled to the first shoe, the second shoe, and/or the bar. The sensor module is configured to detect at least one force or moment acting on the sensor module along or about at least one axis.
