  • Motor function evaluation device and motor function evaluation method
    Patent number: 9808184
    Abstract: To provide a motor function evaluation device and a motor function evaluation method capable of evaluating a motor function of a subject comprehensively and easily. A motor function evaluation device 1 of the present invention includes a measurement base 11, a load measurement unit 14 that measures load change over time of the subject applied to the measurement base 11, and an arithmetic unit 24 that determines a balance ability indicator of the subject determined by the load change over time measured by the load measurement unit 14. The arithmetic unit 24 determines the balance ability indicator from a time interval from when the subject stands up and the load applied to the load measurement unit 14 is maximized until when the load variation is stabilized.
