Abstract: A triaxial acceleration sensor and a triaxial angular rate sensor are mounted on each of the lower limb portions on both sides of one joint among joints constituting a part of one lower limb of a subject. The acceleration and angular rate of each lower limb portion are measured by the triaxial acceleration sensor and triaxial angular rate sensor while the subject is walking.

Abstract: A radiographic device in which the scatter radiation and the grid foil can be removed without preparing the number of patterns corresponding to the position shift despite the occurrence of the position shift of a scatter radiation removal module relative to a radiation detection module.
