Abstract
One of the most popular reasons that elderly person fall down in walking motion is a gap of the center of gravity position of foot. So in order to solve the problem, we propose High-Performance Shoes that assist elder people to their walking. In this paper we indicate a new system that shows status of walking balance. We construct a new system by using following devices. Those are High-Performance Shoes, android device, Head Mounted Display and WiPort. Therefore, we can show data on real time by using those devices. Further, we also produce new insoles that can detect sole pressure distribution and change insole's stiffness corresponded to pressure distribution. We clarified what distribution is corresponded to status of insole's stiffness part. Further, we cleared walking characteristics through walking experimental results. Thus, we have to clarify characteristics of shoes quantitatively. However, we can't evaluate those shoes to use existing evaluation device for walk because they can't reproduce a gap of the center of gravity position of foot. So we also developed an evaluation device for walking that can reproduce a gap of the center of gravity position of foot. Finally, we measured the distribution data that were obtained by using the evaluation device. As the result, it is cleared that the evaluation device can reproduce human walking repeatedly.
