Currently, gait analysis is used for pathological diagnosis. In the gait analysis, the measurement of the lower limb is the main, and measurement of the arm swing is not performed much. On the other hand, the arm swing is simple and it is easy to do it regardless of the place as compared with the movement of the lower limb. Therefore, by analyzing the arm swing, I thought that it would be possible to investigate signs of disease more easily than before. The ultimate goal of this research is to develop a system that encourages people to discover signs of disease by swinging arms on the spot and to undergo precision examinations. In this paper, as a foothold, we compared arm swing during walking and arm swing at foot stepping close to walking motion, looking for a common trend. However, we could not find a common trend.
