    • There is provided a sock for monitoring physical or physiological output from a wearer. The sock is comprised of a knitted textile and further comprises: a plurality of sensors, wherein each sensor is integrally incorporated within the textile and comprised of conductive yarns that are knitted into the textile, the sensors configured to sense physical and/or physiological output from the wearer by detecting a variation in the position, composition, contact resistance between, displacement of and/or distance between the conductive yarns in the sensors; a connector for providing a textile-based interface between an external data collection module and the sensors; and a plurality of electrically conductive traces that extend from the sensors to the connector, wherein each trace transmits power and/or data to or from each of the plurality of sensors. The connector comprises an elongate strip manufactured from a textile and divided into a first portion and a second portion. The elongate strip comprises a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer. The connector further comprises a plurality of transmission lines, and a plurality of embroidered contacts. The first portion connects the connector to the sock and is configured to connect to terminal portions of the traces. The second portion is unconnected to the sock and enables flexible connection with the external data collection module. A first end of each transmission line is in electrical connection with a terminal portion of a trace, and a second end of each transmission line is configured for connection with the external data collection module. The transmission lines are comprised within the first and third layers of the elongate strip, the second layer is an insulating layer disposed between the first and third layers, and each of the plurality of embroidered contacts is located at the second end of a corresponding transmission line.
