PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily and quantitatively evaluate knee-stretching degree during walking.SOLUTION: A walking posture meter includes an acceleration sensor 112 which is mounted on a midline of a lumbar part of a person to be measured, and quantitatively calculates a physical amount corresponding to the knee-stretching degree during walking of the person to be measured by using a temporal change waveform of the vertical shaft acceleration outputted by the acceleration sensor 112.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】歩行中の伸膝度を手軽に定量的に評価すること。【解決手段】被測定者の腰の正中線上に装着される加速度センサ112を備える。加速度センサ112が出力する上下軸加速度の時間的な変化波形を用いて、被測定者の歩行中の伸膝度に対応する物理量を定量的に算出する。【選択図】図1
