Because of the aging society with a declining birthrate, labor shortage for people who need rehabilitation is one of serious problems in Japan. On the rehabilitation site, physical therapists care patients one‐to‐one and determinate their conditions based on experience and memory. Therefore, we need to develop systems which evaluate automatically and quantitatively without expensive devices such as force plate. Balance ability is an important factor of motion control function and is related to basic motions which affect Quality of Life: QOL such as standing and walking. In this study, we try to estimate instability of human body balance based on centroidal angular momentum instead of using force plate and to evaluate it automatically by making a balance game using motion capture．
