Abstract

PURPOSE:To accurately measure the motion function of the lower limbs by moving a rod in its axial direction under a preset speed variable condition by the rod driver of a hydraulic cylinder and measuring the force applied to the lower limbs at each position of the movement of the rod in a vectorial manner. CONSTITUTION:A rod 6 is sent out from a hydraulic cylinder 5 in such a state that an examinee bends his knees to set the leading ends of his lower limbs to a pedal 15 to confirm the position in such a state that the examinee extends his knees to a predetermined position and the rod 6 is returned to the original position to start measurement and sent out to the position where the examinee extends his knees at variable speed under a predetermined moving condition. In this moving process of the rod 6, the examinee steps on the pedal 15 by the leading ends of his lower limbs to apply the horizontal force FH in the moving direction of the rod 6 and the vertical force FV acting downwardly at the right angle to the horizontal force to the pedal 15. The detection signal of the vertical force FV is outputted from a load cell 17 and the detection signal of the horizontal force FH is outputted from a rod-shaped load cell 10 through a cotter 18. The function of the lower limbs is analyzed in a vectorial manner on the basis of muscular strength by an operation circuit.
