  "textContent": "A system for detecting steps of a user, comprising: a processing unit (2); an electrostatic-charge sensor (6), configured to detect a variation of electrostatic charge of the user during a step of the user and generate a charge-variation signal (S); an accelerometer (4) configured to detect an acceleration as a consequence of the step and generate an acceleration signal (S). The processing unit (2) is configured to: acquire the charge-variation signal (S); acquiring the acceleration signal (S); detect, in the charge-variation signal, a first characteristic associated with the step; detect, in the acceleration signal, a second characteristic identifying the step. If both of the first and second characteristics have been detected, the presence of the step can be validated.",
