<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a leg strength evaluation method in which the convenience is excellent and the leg strength can be evaluated accurately, and to provide a leg strength evaluation device using the same. <P>SOLUTION: The leg strength evaluation method includes: a step in which an acceleration and an angular velocity that show the movements of an upper-body section and femoral region in a subject H during a posture change from a maximum squat down posture which is a posture in which the subject H squats down as much as possible to a standing posture are acquired by an upper-body section sensor and a femoral region sensor; and a step in which the maximum value max(T<SB POS="POST">hip+knee</SB>(t)) of the sum of the joint moment of a hip joint and a knee joint of the subject H is acquired from the acceleration and the angular velocity of the upper-body section and the femoral region, and the margin degree of the leg strength is calculated based on the maximum value and the reference value T<SP POS="POST">ref</SP><SB POS="POST">hip+knee</SB>that shows a minimum muscular strength necessary for the subject H to stand up from the squatting down posture. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT</p> |
