Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We have developed a shoe-type measurement device which is able to measure gait information such as step length, width and pressure distribution while daily living. We hypothesized that a walking rehabilitation system could be realized by combining shoe-type device and comprehensively display which showed analytical results for gait with real time operation. From evaluation by patients, physicians and physical therapists, it was found that our system was effective to let the patients, physicians and physical therapists know quantitative gait information. However, it was also found that there were some problems such as insufficient measurement area. Then, improvement study to enlarge measurement area by deciding optimal sensor orientation was performed and made a trial manufacture of new device.
