PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel balance ability measuring method and a novel balance ability measuring apparatus, which are enabled to measure the balance ability of a subject more precisely by measuring the variation of the travel of a center of gravity while specifying a condition on the grounding situation of a sole.SOLUTION: The position of center of gravity at the standing position of a subject is continuously metered, and the foot pressure distribution at the standing position of the subject is continuously metered, so that the displacement magnitude of the position of the center of gravity is measured together with the variation of the foot pressure distribution in the same direction as the displacement direction of the center of gravity.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 13COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】足裏の接地状況についての条件を特定したうえで、重心移動量の変化量を測定することにより、被検者のバランス能力をより正確に測定することができる、新規なバランス能力測定方法およびバランス能力測定装置を提供すること。【解決手段】被検者の立位での重心位置を継続的に計測すると共に、被検者の立位での足圧分布を継続的に計測し、重心位置の変位量を、重心位置の変位方向と同じ方向での足圧分布の変化量とともに測定する。【選択図】図13
