Abstract

An analysis method (200) for analysing the pressure exerted by a portion of the body and/or of a human prosthesis comprises the following steps: sampling data generated by the portion of the body and/or the human prosthesis during a threshold calibration period (TCP) at a sampling frequency (Fs) in at least one condition of use so as to obtain an array of sampled data (d(i,j,t)) of at least one sensing unit (15ij); providing at least one threshold value (TA1, TC1) of the sampled data (d(i,j,t)) for the at least one condition of use and storing the least one threshold value (TA1, TC1) in a memory unit (24); comparing at the sampling frequency (Fs) the sampled data (d(i,j,t)) with the at least one threshold value (TA1, TC1) to obtain calibrated data (dc(i,j,t)), and storing the calibrated data dc(i,j,t) in the memory unit (24) and/or send the calibrated data dc(i,j,t) to a computing device (4) if the calibrated data dc(i,j,t) is greater than the at least one threshold value (TA1, TC1). A sensing device (1) for sensing the pressure exerted by a portion of the body and/or the human prosthesis, comprises a body (11) formed by a flexible material and having a plurality of superimposed layers (12), each layer of the plurality of layers being provided with a plurality of sensing units (10) arranged into the body (11) and configured for sensing the pressure applied by the portion of the body of the user and/or the human prosthesis, each sensing units (15ij) of the plurality of sensing units (10) being a capacitive or resistive/capacitive force/pressure sensing unit.
