PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for calibrating the measured value of a load sensor that makes it possible to easily calibrate the measured value of a load sensor that measures a load that the sole of a user receives from the ground surface.SOLUTION: A method for calibrating the measured value of a load sensor 22 that measures a load that the sole S of a user receives from the ground surface while walking, the method which is executed by a walking auxiliary device 1 that assists a user in walking involving: determining whether or not the sold S is separate from the ground surface on the basis of whether or not the measured value of the load sensor 22 is less than or equal to a prescribed value; calculating the time mean value of measured values when the sold S is separate from the ground surface and thereby calculating an offset value; and subtracting the offset value from the measured values and thereby calibrating the measured values.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
