PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To detect the presence or absence of a load in any region of a human body.SOLUTION: A load detection device 1 comprises a first calculation unit 1a, a second calculation unit 1b, and a determination unit 1c. The first calculation unit 1a calculates a first angle indicating the inclination of a region 2a of a subject 2 on the basis of a first measurement result obtained by an acceleration sensor 3 fitted to the subject 2. The second calculation unit 1b calculates a second angle indicating the inclination of the region 2a on the basis of a second measurement result of the subject 2 obtained by another sensor of a kind different from the acceleration sensor 3. The determination unit 1c determines the presence or absence of a load on the region 2a on the basis of the difference between the first angle and the second angle.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】人体のどの部位でも負荷の有無を検出すること。【解決手段】負荷検出装置１は、第１の算出部１ａと第２の算出部１ｂと判定部１ｃとを有する。第１の算出部１ａは、被験者２に装着された加速度センサ３による第１の測定結果に基づいて、被験者２の部位２ａの傾きを示す第１の角度を算出する。第２の算出部１ｂは、加速度センサ３とは異なる種類の他のセンサによる被験者２の第２の測定結果に基づいて、部位２ａの傾きを示す第２の角度を算出する。判定部１ｃは、第１の角度と第２の角度との差分に基づいて、部位２ａにかかる負荷の有無を判定する。【選択図】図１
