From Impossible to Unnoticed: Wearable Technologies and The Miniaturization of Grand Science

The scientific findings and the instruments used to demonstrate them follow a natural arc from exotic to pedestrian. This chapter provides an overview of historical examples in certain domains that are either currently, or soon to be, wearable on humans as a part of laboratory study or everyday life. It also provides a nonexhaustive overview of wearable products and technologies relevant to foot and ankle biomechanics.
