The present invention is constructed from: EMG electrodes, EMS actuators, and EMU and altimeter sensors. EMG electrodes: Measure EMG of the calf and plantarflexor muscles. The same electrodes can be used for EMS of the calf muscle. EMS actuators for dorsiflexor muscles and plantarflexor muscles. IMU and altimeter sensors located on each sock for detecting steps, cadence and calories burned during walking, miming, cycling and other exercises. Features are extracted from the EMG signal and are compared with the features from the previous EMG test and also with the normal standard. The improvement in condition is estimated to give feedback to the person for adjustment of therapy and other rehabilitation measures.
