FOOT STATE ANALYSIS METHOD

To provide a technology to analyze a grounding state of a subject's feet by using the subject's foot pressure in walking.SOLUTION: A foot state analysis method includes: an acquisition step (S11) for acquiring foot pressure information on at least one of a subject's feet in walking; an extraction step (S13) for extracting either toe pressure distribution information indicating pressure distribution of the toe or sole pressure distribution information indicating pressure distribution of the sole, or the toe pressure distribution information and the sole pressure distribution information respectively in a distinguishable manner; and a generation step (S15) for generating foot state information indicating a grounding state of the subject's feet by using one or both of the toe pressure distribution information and the sole pressure distribution information.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】歩行時の被検者の足圧を用いて被検者の足の接地状態を分析する技術を提供する。【解決手段】足状態分析方法は、歩行時の被検者における少なくとも一方の足の足圧分布情報を取得する取得工程（Ｓ１１）と、取得された足圧分布情報から、足指部の圧力分布を示す足指圧分布情報若しくは足底部の圧力分布を示す足底圧分布情報のいずれか一方、又は、足指圧分布情報及び足底圧分布情報を切り分けてそれぞれ抽出する抽出工程（Ｓ１３）と、足指圧分布情報若しくは足底圧分布情報のいずれか一方又は両方を用いて、被検者の足の接地状態を示す足状態情報を生成する生成工程（Ｓ１５）と、を含む。【選択図】図１
