Recently, it is reported that the number of fall down accidents in elderly people has been increasing along with the progress of aging society. The main factor of fall down accident is the gap of the center of balance from declining in physical performance. Elderly people need to recover the declined in physical performance to prevent the fall down. One way to prevent the motion, it is walking training because it can do with low-stress. Then, we focused on the shoes which is used frequently and we develop the walking training system using the high-performance shoes. In this study, we developed the high-performance shoes which has two systems. One is the visual showing system that can see the walking state in real time, the other is walking assist system using pneumatics to lighten the burden that imposed on the body.
