Abstract
There is described a sensing apparatus comprising first and second members which are supported relative to each other by a support means. The first member comprises a magnetic field generator for generating a magnetic field and the second member comprises an aerial for monitoring the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generator. At least one of the first and second members is locally deformable relative to the other of the first and second members in order to vary at least one of the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generator and the electromagnetic coupling between the magnetic field generator and the receive aerial so that, in response to a local deformation, a signal is induced in the receive aerial indicative of the position of the local deformation.
