This support device (100), for supporting insertion and removal of a flexible insertion body (203) into and out of a subject, comprises a position acquisition unit (110), a linkage calculation unit (142) and a determination unit (143). The position acquisition unit (110) acquires information about the displacement of at least two points of interest at different positions in the longitudinal direction of the insertion body (230). The linkage calculation unit (142) calculates the linkage of the displacement of the at least two points of interest. The determination unit (143) determines the state of a prescribed target area of the insertion body (203) or of the subject on the basis of the linkage. |
