PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a chair capable of automatically measuring time required for each motion of a measured person in measurement of 3 m of TUG (time up and go).SOLUTION: A contact detection sensor for detecting a contact state between a chair 10 and a measured person detects standing motion start of the measured person and seating thereof. The contact detection sensor includes a backrest contact detection sensor that detects a contact state between a backrest 14 and the measured person, or a seat contact detection sensor that detects a contact state between a seat 12 and the measured person. A human body detection sensor 60 for detecting distance from a rear end part of the chair 10 to the measured person detects standing of the measured person and seating motion start thereof. Timing means measures time required for each motion of the measured person on the basis of output signals of the contact detection sensor and the human body detection sensor 60.COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】3mTUG測定において、被測定者の各動作に要した時間を自動計測可能な椅子を提供する。【解決手段】椅子10と被測定者との接触状態を検知する接触検知センサにより、被測定者の起立動作開始及び着座が検出される。接触検知センサには、背もたれ部14と被測定者との接触状態を検知する背もたれ部接触検知センサ又は座部12と被測定者との接触状態を検知する座部接触検知センサが含まれる。また、椅子10の後方端部から被測定者までの距離を検出する人体検出センサ60により、被測定者の起立及び着座動作開始が検出される。計時手段は、接触検知センサ及び人体検出センサ60の出力信号に基づいて、被測定者の各動作に要した時間を計測する。【選択図】図5
