PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device capable of easily evaluating whether or not a centroid during walking is closer to the front or rear 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 a first operation part which calculates at least one of an amount indicating the degree to which the centroid position during walking of the person to be measured is closer to the front of the person to be measured with respect to the cross direction and an amount indicating the degree to which the centroid position is closer to the rear of the person to be measured with respect to the cross direction by using a temporal change waveform of the vertical shaft acceleration outputted by the acceleration sensor.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】手軽に歩行中の重心が進行方向に対して前寄り/後寄りであるか否かを評価できる装置を提供する。【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を用いて、被測定者の歩行中の重心の位置が前後方向に関して前記被測定者に対し前寄りに偏っている程度を示す量、および、前記重心の位置が前後方向に関して前記被測定者に対し後寄りに偏っている程度を示す量の少なくともいずれか一方を算出する第1演算部を備える。【選択図】図1
