PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device capable of easily evaluating whether or not walking posture inclines forward or backward with respect to the movement direction.SOLUTION: A walking posture meter (100) for evaluating walking posture of a person to be measured includes: an acceleration sensor (112) which is mounted on a midline of a lumbar part of the person to be measured and an operation part (110) which calculates an amount corresponding to the inclination in the longitudinal direction of posture during walking of the person to be measured by using a temporal change waveform of the vertical shaft acceleration and a temporal change waveform of the longitudinal shaft acceleration outputted by the acceleration sensor.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】手軽に歩行姿勢が進行方向に対して前傾・後傾しているか否かを評価できる装置を提供すること。【解決手段】被測定者の歩行姿勢を評価する歩行姿勢計(100)であって、被測定者の腰の正中線上に装着される加速度センサ(112)と、加速度センサが出力する上下軸加速度の時間的な変化波形と前後軸加速度の時間的な変化波形とを用いて、被測定者の歩行中の姿勢の前後方向の傾きに対応する量を算出する演算部(110)と、を備える。【選択図】図1
