1. A wearable device to measure the motion and/or configuration of a person's body comprising:
a wearable energy-conducting mesh, lattice, grid, or matrix that is configured to span the surface of a portion of a person's body which contains a joint, wherein the mesh, lattice, grid, or matrix further comprises a plurality of energy pathways;
a plurality of energy input components which direct energy into the energy pathways at a first plurality of locations;
a plurality of energy sensors which measure energy flow through the energy pathways from a second plurality of locations;
wherein data from the energy sensors are analyzed in order to measure the motion and/or configuration of the body joint;
wherein there is a first energy pathway in the plurality of energy pathways and there is a second energy pathway in the plurality of energy pathways; and
wherein the first energy pathway has a first amount of longitudinal curvature or convolution, the second energy pathway has a second amount of longitudinal curvature or convolution, and the second amount is greater than the first amount.
