<4. Description of analysis contents of triaxial acceleration data measured by triaxial acceleration sensor unit>
Next, the analysis content of the triaxial acceleration data measured by the triaxial

acceleration sensor units

111L and 111R will be described.

(1) Displacement in Z-axis direction First, displacement in the Z-axis direction (height direction) calculated by analyzing acceleration data in the Z-axis direction will be described. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating the displacement in the Z-axis direction when the movement of the right foot while the subject is walking is viewed from the side. As shown in FIG. 4, the right foot that has landed (state 401) starts to walk and moves upward by kicking the ground (state 402), and is positioned substantially parallel to the ground. After moving in the advancing direction while maintaining (states 403 and 404), landing again (state 405).

At this time, the position in the Z-axis direction of the 3-axis acceleration sensor unit 111R in the state 401 is set as the reference position 410, and the acceleration data in the Z-axis direction measured by the 3-axis acceleration sensor unit 111R is integrated twice, thereby A displacement 412 from the position 410 can be calculated. Similarly, by calculating the

displacements

413 and 414 in the

states

403 and 404, the displacement in the Z-axis direction at each elapsed time after the start of the walking motion in the walking motion for one step of the right foot can be obtained.

By detecting the time when the position of the three-axis acceleration sensor unit 111R in the Z-axis direction reaches the reference position 410 again after the start of the walking motion, it can be determined as the landing timing of the first step of the subject's right foot. .

(2) Displacement in Y-axis direction Next, displacement in the Y-axis direction (traveling direction) will be described. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating the displacement in the Z-axis direction when the movement of the right foot while the subject is walking is viewed from the side. As shown in FIG. 5, the right foot that has landed (state 401) moves upward in the traveling direction by starting a walking motion and kicking the ground (state 402), and is positioned substantially parallel to the ground. After moving in the advancing direction while maintaining (states 403 and 404), landing again (state 405).

At this time, the position in the Y-axis direction of the three-axis acceleration sensor unit 111R in the state 401 is set as the reference position 510, and the acceleration data in the Y-axis direction measured by the three-axis acceleration sensor unit 111R is integrated twice, thereby A displacement 512 from the position 510 can be calculated. Similarly, by calculating each

displacement

513, 514, 515 in each

state

403, 404, the displacement in the Y-axis direction at each elapsed time after the start of the walking motion in the walking motion for one step of the right foot can be obtained. .

(3) Displacement in X-axis direction Next, displacement in the X-axis direction (turning direction) will be described. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating displacement in the X-axis direction when the motion of the right foot while the subject is walking is viewed from above. As shown in FIG. 6, the right foot that has landed (state 401) starts walking, moves in the direction of travel by kicking up the ground (states 402 to 404), and then landes again (state 405). .

At this time, depending on the subject, the leg during the swing leg period may deviate in the X axis direction (turns outward or inward) with respect to the landing position. Therefore, a line connecting the position in the X-axis direction in the state 401 and the position in the X-axis direction in the state 405 with a straight line is taken as a reference position 610, and acceleration data in the X-axis direction measured by the three-axis acceleration sensor unit 111R. Are integrated twice, and displacements 612 to 614 from the reference position 610 can be calculated. That is, the displacement in the X-axis direction at each elapsed time after the start of the walking motion in the walking motion for one step of the right foot can be obtained.

Combining the displacement in the Z-axis direction and the displacement in the Y-axis direction at each elapsed time from the start of the walking movement, the movement of the subject's foot while walking is viewed from the side (that is, Y− The trajectory of the displacement (in the Z-axis plane) can be calculated.

Similarly, by combining the displacement in the X-axis direction and the displacement in the Y-axis direction at each elapsed time from the start of the walking motion, when the motion of the subject's foot during walking is viewed from above (that is, , In the XY axis plane), the displacement locus can be calculated.

<5. Explanation of walking motion analysis processing>
Next, walking motion analysis processing in the information processing apparatus 120 will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the flow of walking motion analysis processing in the information processing apparatus 120. In step S701, the walking motion analysis unit 332 transmits a measurement start instruction to the rehabilitation shoe 110L for the left foot and the rehabilitation shoe 110R for the right foot. In response to receiving the measurement start instruction from the walking motion analysis unit 332, in the rehabilitation shoe 110L for the left foot and the rehabilitation shoe 110R for the right foot, the foot pressure distribution

detection sensor units

201R and 201L include the foot pressure distribution calculation data. Start measurement. In response to receiving a measurement start instruction from the walking motion analysis unit 332, the triaxial

acceleration sensor units

111R and 111L start measuring triaxial acceleration data. Further, the rehabilitation shoe 110L for the left foot and the rehabilitation shoe 110R for the right foot transmit the measured foot pressure distribution calculation data and the triaxial acceleration data to the information processing device 120 in association with the elapsed time from the measurement start time. To start.

In step S702, the walking motion analysis unit 332 starts receiving foot pressure distribution calculation data and triaxial acceleration data transmitted from the rehabilitation shoe 110L for the left foot and the rehabilitation shoe 110R for the right foot.

In step S703, the walking motion analysis unit 332 starts recording the foot pressure distribution calculation data and the triaxial acceleration data received in step S702 in the storage unit 323.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of foot pressure distribution calculation data and triaxial acceleration data recorded in the storage unit 323. As shown in FIG. 8, the foot pressure distribution calculation data 334 and the triaxial acceleration data 335 transmitted from the left foot rehabilitation shoe 110L and the right foot rehabilitation shoe 110R, respectively, are associated with the elapsed time from the measurement start time. Recorded.

In this embodiment, the triaxial acceleration data 335 is composed of acceleration data groups in the X axis direction, the Y axis direction, and the Z axis direction, and the foot pressure distribution calculation data 334 is foot pressure data from N pressure sensitive elements. It consists of a group. In the example of FIG. 8, the sampling interval of the triaxial acceleration data 335 and the foot pressure distribution calculation data 334 is 100 mmsec, but the present invention is not limited to this.

Return to Figure 7. In step S704, the triaxial motion analysis unit 333 uses the acceleration data recorded in the storage unit 323 in the X axis direction and the Y axis direction to see the motion of the subject's foot while walking from above. The locus of displacement in the case (that is, in the XY axis plane) is calculated.

In step S705, the triaxial motion analysis unit 333 uses the acceleration data in the Z axis direction and the Y axis direction recorded in the storage unit 323 to see the motion of the foot while the subject is walking from the side. The locus of displacement in the case (that is, in the YZ axis plane) is calculated.

In step S706, the foot pressure distribution calculation unit 331 calculates the foot pressure distribution data at each elapsed time based on the foot pressure distribution calculation data 334 recorded in the storage unit 323. Specifically, a color scheme corresponding to the value of each foot pressure data is added to a position corresponding to the arrangement of each pressure sensitive element. When calculating the foot pressure distribution data, the position coordinates of the foot pressure distribution data on the XY axis plane are also calculated using the corresponding acceleration data in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction.

In step S707, the walking motion analysis unit 332 determines whether or not a measurement end instruction has been input. If it is determined that a measurement end instruction has not been input, the process returns to step S704 to continue the process. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S707 that a measurement end instruction has been input, the process proceeds to step S708.

In step S708, the stride of each foot of the subject is calculated based on the displacement locus on the YZ axis plane calculated in step S705. Specifically, a time point having a height position that coincides with the height position at the measurement start time point is extracted from the displacement locus on the YZ axis plane calculated in step S705, and the XY axis at each time point is extracted. The position coordinates of the plane are calculated. Then, these processes are performed for each of the right foot and the left foot, and the distance between adjacent position coordinates is calculated to obtain the stride of the subject.

In step S709, the displacement locus in the XY axis plane calculated in step S704, the displacement locus in the YZ axis plane calculated in step S705, the foot pressure distribution data calculated in step S706, and in step S708 The calculated stride is displayed as a walking motion analysis result.

FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of the walking motion analysis result displayed in step S709. In FIG. 9, reference numeral 901 denotes the locus of the left foot of the subject among the displacement locus on the XY axis plane calculated in step S704. Reference numeral 902 denotes the locus of the right foot of the subject among the displacement locus on the XY axis plane calculated in step S704.

Also, 911 indicates the locus of the left foot of the subject among the displacement locus on the YZ axis plane calculated in step S705. Reference numeral 912 denotes the trajectory of the subject's right foot among the displacement trajectories in the YZ axis plane calculated in step S705.

In addition, reference numeral 921 indicates the foot pressure distribution data of the left foot at a predetermined elapsed time among the foot pressure distribution data calculated in step S706. Similarly, 922 indicates foot pressure distribution data of the right foot at a predetermined elapsed time among the foot pressure distribution data calculated in step S706.

931 determines the position and orientation of the foot type (predetermined foot type) of the subject's left foot based on the foot pressure distribution data while the left foot is landing, and superimposes it on the foot pressure distribution data 921 It is a foot type displayed together. Similarly, 932 determines the position and orientation of the foot shape (predetermined foot shape) of the subject's right foot based on the foot pressure distribution data while the right foot is landing, and foot pressure distribution data This is a foot pattern superimposed on 922.

941 and 942 indicate the strides calculated in step S708. In order to clearly indicate the stride, it is assumed that the past footprints are displayed as they are regardless of the elapsed time.

In the foot pressure distribution measurement system according to the present embodiment, a triaxial acceleration sensor unit is attached to each foot of the subject, and the triaxial acceleration data together with the foot pressure distribution calculation data corresponds to the elapsed time from the start of measurement. It was set as the structure which attaches and records. Also, by processing the triaxial acceleration data, the trajectory of the subject's foot during walking on the XY axis plane, the trajectory on the YZ axis plane, and the stride are calculated, and the foot pressure distribution at each elapsed time The position coordinates of the data on the XY axis plane are calculated.

Further, the calculated locus and stride are displayed, and the foot pressure distribution data is displayed based on the position coordinates of the calculated foot pressure distribution data on the XY axis plane.

This makes it possible to display the motion of the entire foot during walking together with the foot pressure distribution data, and to quantitatively grasp the relationship between the foot pressure distribution and the walking motion of the entire foot.

In other words, it became possible to accurately and quantitatively grasp the state of the subject during walking.

[Second Embodiment]
In the first embodiment, only the foot pressure distribution data at a predetermined elapsed time is displayed. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the foot pressure distribution data at each landing timing during walking may be displayed simultaneously on the same plane.

FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of a walking motion analysis result. Among the display contents shown in FIG. 10, the same display contents as the display contents shown in FIG. 9 are assigned the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted here.

The difference from FIG. 9 is the foot pressure distribution data 1021 to 1023. In the case of FIG. 9, only the foot pressure distribution data at a predetermined elapsed time is displayed. However, in this embodiment, the foot pressure distribution data at each timing when each foot is landing during walking is landed. It is the point which is simultaneously displayed at each position.

Thus, by simultaneously displaying the foot pressure distribution data at different elapsed times on the same screen, it becomes possible to list the foot pressure distribution data at each step count.

Since the motion speed of each foot at each elapsed time can be calculated by integrating the 3-axis acceleration data once, the motion speed may be displayed together. Note that the operation speed display method may be, for example, a numerical value or a vector having a length proportional to the operation speed.

In addition to the trajectory of each foot during walking on the XY axis plane and the trajectory of each foot during walking on the YZ axis plane, the turning angle of each foot during walking on the XY axis plane and YZ The angle of raising each foot during walking on the axial plane may be calculated and displayed together.

In the first and second embodiments, when calculating the stride, paying attention to acceleration data in the Z-axis direction, the timing at which each foot has landed is the timing at which the height of each foot has reached the reference position. The stride is calculated based on the position coordinates of each foot at the timing, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, referring to the foot pressure distribution data, the timing at which the contact area is maximized is determined to be the timing at which each foot has landed, and the stride is calculated using the position coordinates of each foot at that timing. It may be configured.
