[ 015 ] The sensory textile may comprise at least two sensory textile portions attached to the substrate in a non-contacting arrangement. 

[ 016 ] The sensory textile device may be configured to be worn on a finger, the spaced apart locations being on opposite sides of a knuckle of the finger. Where two or more arches are provided, the pairs of locations of one of said two or more arches may be located on opposite sides of a knuckle of the finger and the pairs of locations of a different one of said two or more arches may be located on opposite sides of a different knuckle of the finger. 

[ 017 ] Each of said two or more arches may be of a different size to at least one other of said two or more arches. 

[ 018 ] The sensory textile device may comprise a single strip of the sensory textile, and said two or more arches form a series of arches along the strip. The series of arches may be of progressively larger size. 

[ 019 ] The sensory textile of the sensory textile device may be formed by the method described above. 

[ 020 ] Further disclosed herein is a sensory textile device comprising: a sensory textile formed according to the method described above; a conductive backing layer; and a spacer layer disposed between the sensory textile and conductive backing layer. 

[021] The spacer layer may be polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). 

[ 022 ] The conductive backing layer may be Aluminium. 

[ 023 ] The sensory textile may be configured to be positioned at a first location on a human body, and the spacer layer and conductive backing may be configured to be positioned at a second location on the human body that moves past the first location during a movement of the human body, thereby to activate the sensory textile device. 

[ 024 ] Further, described herein is a garment comprising a sensory textile device as described above. The garment may be a sock for sensing a gait of a user.
